approach o an Israeli doctor
and his team in the treat-
ment o schizophrenia might
simply be summed up as the
earlier, the better.reating schizophrenia in
young people beore they have
their rst episode is a contro-
versia l method, but during
the last decade, ongoing stud-
ies by Dr. Uriel Heresco-Levy
show that an intervention tar-
geted to glutamates, one o
two major neurotransmitters in the brain,
wont prevent the occurrence o the disease,
but may improve a patients outcome over
a lietime. Neurotransmitters allow brain
cells to communicate with each other.
Heresco-Levy is the director o the
Schizophrenia Research Program and
the Department o Psychiatry at Herzog
Memorial Hospital, an asso-
ciate proessor at Hadassah
Medical School, and a leader in
this prevention work. He was
part o a 2012 study on this
research recently published inSchizophrenia Bulletin.
One aspect o this
increased emphasis is to high-
light the potential damage asso-
ciated with delays in treatment
o early phases o psychotic ill-
ness, wrote Heresco-Levy.
Recent data indicate that the
duration o untreated psychosis in schizo-
phrenias rst episodes consistently predicts
outcome independently o other variables.
Tere is a growing body o evidence sug-
gesting that changes in the neurotransmit-
ter system, possibly caused by deects in the
early development o the neurotransmitter
processes, may be a root cause or the onset
o this disease. Te glutamate system, which
may be altered in schizophrenia, could be
unctioning below optimum levels.
Tis type o neurotransmitter therapy
is not the only approach researchers are
taking in the quest to manage this disease,or which there is no cure. Drug therapies,
however, have several negative side eects.
Teir use implies patient exposure to
a variety o side eects, including motor,
Parkinsons disease-like symptoms, and
metabolic side eects, e.g. obesity, blood
sugar level elevation that characterize sec-
ond-generation antipsychotic drugs, said
Heresco-Levy.
During the last decade, our group has
contributed extensively to the develop-
ment and establishment o a novel class o
medications to be used in psychotic dis-
orders such as schizophrenia, and in ill-
nesses such as autism, Post-raumatic
Stress Disorder, and Parkinsons disease,
he added.
Tese medications typically contain
glycine, D-serine, and sarcosine, natural
amino acids present in the human body
that have the advantage o being prac-
tically devoid o signicant side eects,
Heresco-Levy said. By now, studies per-
ormed by our and other research groups
have demonstrated that these compounds
have the capacity to signicantly alleviate
negative symptoms and cognitive deci
in schizophrenia subjects.
Scientists in the eld believe that sev
eral genes may contribute to the risk
developing the disease. Additionally, th
suspect that those with schizophrenhave a greater occurrence o rare genet
mutations and that these mutations, wi
hundreds o dierent genes, may disrup
brain development.
At an early age, typically between 1
and 30, according to the National Institu
o Mental Health, an individual at risk
schizophrenia will maniest his or her r
ully blown episode o the disease. Schiz
phrenia is a broad term or a disease th
includes many kinds o symptoms such
psychotic hallucinations and delusions,
more subtle ones, such as impairments
cognition, learning, socializing, apathy, an
a general blunted aect, which can al
impact attention and memory.
Schizophrenia oen limits the lielon

opinion
This was the kind of book that was parve. You could learn your science and still appreciate being a Jew.
Stroum lecturer Professor David Ruderman, on the best-selling book Sefer HaBrit. See the story on page 6.
tHE rabbIS turn
awknn dmnt
Rabbi Chaim levine hop for hroimWhat is it about hero-
ism that moves us so much?Why is it that when we wit-
ness human beings putting
their lives on the line to help
another we eel so inspired
that we tell their stories long
aer they are gone? We write
books about them, and memo-
rialize them in lm. Why?
Tere is no way seless-
ness, heroism, and sacriice
could bring us to tears i it wasnt connected
to something at the very core o who each o
us is and why we are on this earth. When we
see another person going beyond himsel, it
awakens our own dormant hero. Tat part
within us rejoices in the purity o giving to
another without any thought o personal
gain or recognition.
I am blessed beyond what I can express
with being surrounded by those people
in the Jewish nation who were in circum-
stances where, without exaggeration, this
kind o pure heroic giving took place every
day. Im talking o course about the injured
hayalim soldiers I have met through
my involvement in Hope or Heroism. I
realized recently, however, that there are
those among the Jewish people whose hero-
ism and selessness is no less great than our
injured soldiers, albeit largely unrecognized.
In 2006 Captain Roi Klein was involved
in one o the most brutal battles in the
second Lebanon war against Hezbollah
terrorists. Roi and his soldiers were caught
in a terrible ambush in the village o Bing-
bel. Space in this article does not allow me
to go into detail o the battle, but o the
dozens o grenades thrown by the terror-
ists at Roi and his soldiers, one suddenly
landed right in the midst o them. Imagine
or just a second that you were there. In
that terrible moment, what happens next?
Without hesitation Roi did what he elt
he must do to take care o h
soldiers. He leapt on the grnade in an attempt to prote
their lives.
wo o the soldiers wh
were near him at that mome
told me that as Roi lande
on the grenade, he said th
Shema Yisrael prayer, wi
the ervor and passion th
write about in the books
the Prophets. Roi remaine
alive or a ew seconds aer the blast. H
instructed his soldiers to radio what ha
happened to their commanders and the
passed rom this earth, leaving behind h
wie and two children.
In Israel, ater Roi was buried, h
chevruta (orah study partner) began
write down all o the orah insights R
had come up with while they were stud
ing. He published them under the nam
With All o Your Heart, a line rom th
Shema prayer Roi recited beore he died
oen study this small book o writings o
Shabbat; its incredible.
Aside rom all o Rois soldiers, the
are other heroes in this story, but I wan
to ocus specically on his wie and h
mother. Are they, and all the wives an
mothers o these soldiers, not heroic an
seless in ways we could never unde
stand? Tey are giving their children an
husbands to Am Yisrael so the rest o
may be sae. I dont think I could poss
bly put into writing the level o daily sacr
ce they make or the rest o us. Te wiv
and mothers o our injured soldiers are th
silent heroes o the Jewish nation. Te
level o giving can only be described as
the level o what they write about in th
books o the Prophets. Tey are the livin
Jewish heroes o today, and when Jewi
history is written, their chapter will shin
as brightly as any.
W w pd df m qt
Joel magalniCkedior, JtNwI can remember the moment mar-
riage equality became important to me.
More than eight years ago I sat down with
a member o our local clergy, David Ser-kin-Poole, a man who with his partner
Michael had adopted and raised three
children with special needs. Why, I won-
dered, was I allowed to marry the woman I
loved? I hadnt done anything particularly
special or important by the time I walked
down the aisle, and I took that right or
granted. Yet here was someone who has
done this much good and continues to
do good things or his congregation and
his community and he doesnt get the
same right to marry the man he loves?
Since then, this newspaper has
expressed support or marriage equality.
With a measure on our ballots to uphold
same-sex marriage in Washington State, I
ask today that you do the same and vote to
approve Re. 74.
While I dont mean to put the Serkin-
Pooles on a pedestal aer all, they deal
with the same ups and downs and mun-
danities o lie as any other couple it
was the opportunity to understand their
lives and the indignity o being denied
something as undamental as a marriage
certicate that made me understand how
this amily was considered less than equal
in the eyes o the law.
As Jews, many o us have known what
it is like to be shut out o certain areas o
society, whether it was in health clubs, col-
leges, neighborhoods, or, as we remember
ar too well, civilization as a whole. Many
o us cite past discrimination as a reason
to prevent it urther today.
When we wrote an editorial in 2009
in support o Reerendum 71, which gave
same-sex couples everything but mar-
riage, we said this:
Its an issue of fairness. As Jews,
whether its because we have experi-
enced unequal rights so many times
in the past, or because we live in the
belief of loving thy neighbor as thy-
self, it should be of utmost impor-
tance to ensure that our neighbors,
our coworkers, our fellow synagogue
members have the same rights as
everyone else.
Tat holds true today. We said at the
same time that the issue then wasnt about
marriage, but about those rights that mar-
ried couples oen take or granted. What
has become clear is that everything but
marriage is not enough. Tere are still
times when a couple during a crisis must
pull out a card proving a domestic part-
nership. Tat partnership is recognized
here, but not necessarily everywhere else.
And is anyone renting a tux and book-
ing a DJ aer heading down to Olympia
to pick up a domestic partnership regis-
tration card?
Opponents o this measure say Re. 74
redenes marriage. Tis law would rede-
ne who can get married, but or those oyou married already, I have one simple
question: How does it redene your mar-
riage?
Tink about that. For two people who
love each other to be able to walk down
the aisle and stand in ront o a rabbi and
declare to their community that they are
joined in marriage both beore God and
beore the state is a very powerul thing.
How can we justiy that such a right
shouldnt be available to everyone?
Whats interesting is how the marriage
issue transcends party lines. According
to a poll released earlier this year by the
Public Religion Research Institute, ully
81 percent o Jews support same-sex mar-
riage. aking a closer look, o the people
who identied as Democrat, 89 percent
approved o marriage equality. hats
most, but not all. Fully hal o Jews who
consider themselves Republican 48
percent, plus the margin o error also
approve. Te study also noted the trend o
support is heading in one direction: Up.
We are well aware that not everyone
agrees or will agree on this issue. Tats
okay. Passage o the reerendum doesnt
mean the conversation has to stop, and the
law is explicit in stating that clergy who
do not wish to perorm such marriages
cannot be obliged to do so.
Many halachic Jews, those who live
strictly by the laws set orth by the orah,
see the idea o two men or two women
getting married as a problem due to the
prohibition o them lying together. But
marriage is about ar more than consum-
mation. We all know this its about
teamwork, its getting through the night
when a partner is sick, its watching V
together, its getting the kids to school on
time. Its loving your neighbor as you love
yoursel.
As a newspaper that serves our entire
Jewish community, we must welcome in
as much o our community as we can,
regardless o anyones place on the spec-
trum o observance.
Over the last couple decades, more
and more synagogues and Jewish agen-
cies have become welcome homes to gay,
lesbian and transgender Jews. A coalition
o 28 Jewish organizations across the state
are leading the charge to approve Re. 74
because they too see the need to seek jus-
tice or everyone who comes through their
doors. We are proud to be a part o that
coalition.
So please vote to approve Re. 74. You
can do it or Cantor Serkin-Poole. Or your
neighbor. Or your sister. All things being
equal, we all should be equal.
that risk rises to 10 percent or those who
have a rst-degree relative with the dis-
ease, such as a parent or sibling. A second-
degree relative with the disease also has
an elevated risk; a person with an identi-
cal twin has between a 40 and 65 percent
chance o succumbing to schizophrenia.
Using behavioral, neurophysiological,
and unctional brain imaging approaches,
Heresco-Levy said that his studies during
the last 20 years clearly show there is
severe sensory dysunction in schizo-
phrenia.
He believes that limiting the onset and
the severity o symptoms is, at this time, one
o the only ways doctors can aect the pro-
gression o schizophrenia, but noted th
this approach may set the stage or urth
treatment options or other conditions.
We recently perormed clinical tria
that ound evidence that glutamaterg
drugs can help not only schizophrenia b
also depression, Post-raumatic Stre
Disorder, and Parkinsons disease, adde
Heresco-Levy. Yet these possible trea
ments are not established and certain
not in the health und basket. It is researc
or the uture.

Bad medicine for israel
Israelis today face growing threats fro
all sides, with a remilitarized Sinai, Islamis
on the rise and the Iranians inching closer
nuclear capability. Rabbi Daniel Weiner (
by the nations? Rabbis Turn, Oct. 26) poin
to some extremists who have responded
the rising tensions with inappropriate ainexcusable actions, condemned by t
majority of Israelis. He uses the phras
beleaguered people, describing not Isra
Jews but Palestinian Arabs, whose ma
problem seems to be that their war of exte
mination against Israel, as promised in t
charters of both Hamas and Fatah, has n
been going as smoothly as they would like
He bemoans the departure from the rega
for the other by this young nation only a fe
generations removed from its roots as a refu
for the stateless. He seems uncomfortab
with the fact that this nation was set up as
refuge for statelessJews. Not a newly invent
people called Palestinians, not for the deser
ing masses of Africa, eeing from their Musl
brothers; Jews.
If he sees that as nativism, perhaps it
because Jews are in fact the natives of th
land, from the sea to the Jordan River,
brought down not only in the Torah, but by t
unanimous declaration of the League of Natio
in 1922, in recognition of the 3,000 years
Jewish attachment to the land. Expressio
of xenophobia become more understandab
when the outsiders pose an existential thre
to Israels survival as a Jewish nation.
To remedy this situation Weiner sets o
to save Israels soul. As any Native Ame
can can tell you, the soul of a people resid
not only in its members, but in the land th
has been its sacred ancestral home. Jewi
history was not written in Tel Aviv or Eilat, b
in the land known for millennia as Judea a
Samaria, cleverly renamed the West Bank
King Hussein in 1948 to erase the name of t
Jew from the map of the Middle East. Wein
would save Israels soul by excising t
Jewish heartland like a cancerous tumor, r
egating the Zionist dream to an indefensib
strip along the Philistine Coast.
When the world nally lives up to its pro
ises to the Jews, and when we Jews proud
stand up for what is rightfully ours, only th
will we be the light unto the nations spoke
of by Isaiah, who never heard of Green Line
two-state solutions or Arab East Jerusale
When Jews can nally live in peace and sec
rity in our promised land, the shameful in
dents Rabbi Weiner decries will become a thi
of the past.

Janis siegel JtNw CorrpondnA Hebrew text rom 1797, one o the
most widely read and inuential Jewish
books o its time, caught the imagination
o one o todays oremost Jewish schol-
ars because it promoted harmony and the
coherence between science, nature, andthe Divine.
David Ruderman, a proessor o
modern Jewish history at the University
o Pennsylvania, spoke to packed audi-
ences in Seattle on October 22 and 24 as
part o the University o Washingtons
annual Stroum Lecture series. In his lec-
tures, Behind a Best Seller: Kabbalah,
Science, and Loving Ones Neighbor in
Pinhas Hurwitzs Seer ha-Brit, Ruder-
man explained why Seer ha-Brit (Te
Book o the Covenant), written by Euro-
pean kabbalist and entrepreneur Pinchas
Hurwitz, was reprinted in 40 editions.
Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote about the
act that his mother loved this book espe-
cially, Ruderman told JNews. He read
the Yiddish version. People like [S.Y.]
Agnon, Solomon Schechter, and a long list
o people have quoted the book. Tis is the
way people got their science. People had it
in their homes. Tis was the kind o book
that was parve. You could learn your sci-
ence and still appreciate being a Jew.
Ruderman said that the books second
part, which calls or a universal morality,
is its most remarkable. It provides a kind
o early moral template or
uniting disparate groups,
both within and outside o
Judaism. Hurwitzs book,
he said, contains a sophis-
ticated message he callsmoral cosmopolitanism
that appealed to Jews at
a time when the printing
press and the scientic rev-
olution were shaping a new
intellectual uture.
Te work is a scien-
tic encyclopedia written
by a kabbalist, said Rud-
erman. It was read by Jews
who were enlightened,
who were trying to express
their secularity, but it was
also read by Hassidim, and the opponents
o Hassidim. It breaks down all barriers.
According to Ruderman, Seer ha-
Brit includes chapters on astronomy,
botany, geology, animals, medicine, the
human body, and Creation. Hurwitz, who
was only known due to the popularity o
this book, wanted Jews to have all o the
available scientic knowledge o the time.
He was an aggressive book dealer,
Ruderman explained. He goes around
the world selling this book. He was born
in Vilna, he goes to Germany, he comes
to the Netherlands, hes in Amsterdam,
spends a year in Te Hague, he goes to
London, he goes back across the conti-
nent, and he eventually dies in Krakow.
Ruderman, who is also an ordained
Reorm rabbi, noted that medicine and
the choice to become a doctor was always
accepted and encouraged in Jewish culture
throughout history, as it was during Hur-
witzs time.
Many Jews, rom a very early period
o time, became doctors, and doctors were
approved o as a very important dimen-
sion o the Jewish tradition, said Rud-
erman. Medicine was not looked down
upon. Tere were so many Jewish doctor
and this continues in Northern Europe
the Middle Ages.
However, in the 19th and 20th centur
he said, science and traditional Judais
underwent a partial split.I think it had to do with the brea
down o the traditional community, h
said. During the scientic revolutio
Jews become aware, like others, o th
world, and they responded. Jews we
assimilating and leaving the Jewish ol
but the connection wasnt broken.
Additionally, the growing acceptan
o Jews in academia urther encourage
the trend o Jews migrating toward th
sciences and away rom tradition
inuences.
And then in the Early Modern perio
there was an explosion, because univers
ties, or the rst time, opened their doo
to Jews, and many Jews go to the unive
sity to study medicine.
Ruderman, who is the Joseph Meye
ho Proessor o Modern Jewish Histo
and the Ella Darivo Director o the He
bert D. Katz Center or Advanced Juda
Studies at UPenn, originally went to ra
binical school to ollow a amily lega
o rabbis, but instead, excelled in the ac
demic world.

emily k. alhadeff aoci edior, JtNwWhen you have a bleak reality, you
try to escape to dreams, said Yose Men-
delevich on the night o Oct. 24, beore
a rapt audience at the Seattle Kollel. Te
ormer Soviet reusenik came to Seattle
on short notice while touring the UnitedStates with his book, Unbroken Spirit: A
Heroic Story o Faith, Courage and Sur-
vival (Geen).
Mendelevich is best known or his
involvement in the DymshitsKuznetsov
hijacking aair. On June 15, 1970, Men-
delevich and 15 other men attempted to
hijack a plane out o the Soviet Union to
Sweden. Once in Sweden, they planned to
hold a press conerence to bring awareness
to the plight o the Soviet Jews.
But Mendelevich, then 22 years old,
and his comrades only made it as ar as
the Smolnoye airport beore they were
arrested and aced with a possible death
penalty.
It was a trap o the secret service, he
said.
Beore the audience at the Kollel, Men-
delevich, now a wiry man o 65 with a
long white beard, peyot, and playul eyes,
described his spiritual journey over 11
years o Soviet imprisonment.
Tey tried to break me, but or some
reason, I dont know why, I wouldnt
cooperate, he said.
Armed with growing aith in God and
unwavering aith in the people o Israel,
Mendelevich withstood lie in the Gulag
and, upon his release in 1981, immigrated
to Israel to the great enthusiasm o the
country.Unbroken Spirit was originally
published in Hebrew in 1985. Recently,
riends had urged him to publish it in Eng-
lish or the sake o Am Yisrael.
Te moment it will be needed, it will
happen, he used to say. And it hap-
pened. Unbroken Spirit was trans-
lated into the English by Benjamin Balint,
ormer editor o Commentary magazine,
author o Running Commentary (Publi-
cAairs, 2010), and a 1994 graduate o the
Northwest Yeshiva High School.
Benjamins mother, ormer Seat-
tle resident Judy Lash Balint, organized
Mendelevichs stop in Seattle with Rabbi
Avrohom David at the Kollel. Judy Balint
was active in the Soviet Jewry movement
in the 1970s and 80s, and helped bring
Mendelevich to Seattle in 1983.
While in town last week, the ormer
reusenik also visited Northwest Yeshiva
High School, Seattle Hebrew Academy,
the University o Washington, and the
Henry M. Jackson Foundation.
His case was such a linchpin o the
movement, said Balint via Skype rom
Jerusalem, where she now lives. I not or
the hijackers, the movement would not
have happened.
Balint reected on her work with the
Soviet Jews in the days when no one was
allowed out, and no Israelis were allowed in.
Youd have to book a phone call, s
said. Invariably, the Soviets would com
back and say, You can have that phon
call at two, three in the morning.
Balint rst visited the Soviet Union
1974.You elt these instant bonds with th
people in the USSR, she said. You e
this was your closest misphacha [amily
Te eort to get the Jews out o Russ
and into Israel was a coming together
disparate parts o the Jewish world, sh
said. It was a very proound experience
Born in Riga, Latvia in 1947, Mend
levich describes Jews in the ormer Sovi
Union as victims o a biological Hol
caust by orced assimilation. Althoug
raised secular a product o his env
ronment Mendelevich and his ami
dreamed o Israel, where the sun is shi
ing all the year and where there are goo
people; nobody hates us, or one simp
reason: All o them are Jewish.
I religious identication was killed o
by the Soviets, then Mendelevich was re
urrected. Upon discovering a number
Jews in his university classes, Mendelevic
began attending synagogue and helped
clean up the site o a mass Jewish grave
28,000 bodies.

1Tat unky part o Te
Ave Seattles Univer-sity Avenue above
NE 50th St., has some un
restaurants, including Jaclyn
Roths Fat Ducks Deli and
Bakery in a converted house
at 5509. Open or about a year,
Fat Ducks has gotten high
marks or corned bee, but the
pastrami is delicious, too.
An energetic dynamo who
baked, served and made sand-
wiches while we talked, Jaclyn
learned about ood work-
ing in her dads restaurant. He opened
Dons Drive-In restaurant near her Liv-
ingston, N.J., hometown, turning it into
a 250-seat popular gourmet deli restau-
rant that earned a best hamburger in the
state award.
He was a great, great man, says Jaclyn
o her recently deceased dad. He meant
the world to me. She got a lot o recipes
rom him and rom his mother, a typi-
cal Jewish mother who thought her son
was crazy, o course,
to open a restaurant.
Dons six kids all
worked in the restau-
rant, but none took it
over. Ater studying
business at the Uni-
versity o New Hamp-
shire, Jaclyn worked
in the airline industry
and moved to Seat-
tle about 25 years ago.
Eventually, she le the

working at another local res-
taurant, Blazing Bagels, when
it was just a hole in the wall
in Redmond much like
Fat Ducks is now. Tere she

un stu, so he could go out
and sell.
Dennis is her best riend,
Jaclyn says, a huge support,
an intricate part o this estab-
lishment [who] has helped
me like you wouldnt believe.
She uses his bagels and his
pastrami supplier, and when
Dennis visits his mom in
Caliornia, he cant show up
without a batch o Jaclyns rugelach.
Speaking o rugelach, I sampled three
avors, including late ood writer Eileen
Mintzs recipe rom Yesterdays Mavens,
odays Foodies, the Washington State
Jewish Historical Society cookbook. Jaclyn
also bakes black and white cookies (oh,
Brooklyn, I can hear you calling!), hamen-
taschen, blondies, thick lemo
bars, savory bagel chips anmore. She doesnt corn h
own bee, but seasons it an
re-bakes it on premises.
Jaclyn oen works 12-ho

tim klass JtNw CorrpondnAer serving in the Marine Corps and
National Guard and earning a bachelor oscience degree at Te Evergreen State Col-
lege, Bryan Bright narrowed his job search
down to the Seattle police and the Oregon
State Police.
Concerned he might be assigned to
Eastern Oregon, where he and his wie elt
it would be difcult to give their two chil-
dren a Jewish upbringing, he chose Seattle.
Now, aer spending the intervening 12
years as a patrol ofcer in Seattles North
End, Bright has been named the police
departments liaison to the citys Jewish
community.
One o my rst goals is to go to all
the locations [o Jewish institutions in the
city] and make introductions and get to
meet people, he said in an interview in the
North Precinct lobby.
About our months into the job, Bright
says he has visited the Jewish Federation o
Greater Seattle, the local ofce o the Anti-
Deamation League, emple De Hirsch
Sinai, and I think all the locations in the
North Precinct in his new capacity, with
the exception o two congregations.
Besides those two shuls, he is eager to
visit synagogues in other parts o town and
other community groups and institutions,
a process he expects will take three to our
months to complete.
Bright also was happy to learn o a two-
day training program on security issues
the Federation is sponsoring or public
inormation ofcers in January.
I made sure our media-relations sec-
tion knew about the training, he said.
Te SAFE Washington statewide Jewish
security program is another thing that Ive
made people aware o the [police] Com-
munity Outreach Ofce, the chain o com-
mand that i theres ever an incident at
a Jewish location aer-hours and we cant
nd a Jewish representative, SAFE Wash-
ington has a 24-hour contact number where
somebody can be reached, Bright said.
Te liaison ofcer program was started
by ormer Chie Norm Stamper about
two decades ago with the Arican Ameri-
can community, said Lt. Carmen Best, a
20-year Seattle police veteran who has run
the outreach ofce or two years. Others
added over the years are or the East Ari-
can, Korean, Southeast Asian, Filipino,
Latino, Native American, Muslim, Sikh,
Arab, and lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgen-
der-queer communities.
Im excited to have [Bright] do that,
she said.
Like Bright, each liaison remains
responsible or all o his or her regular
patrol duties. Police designate a liaison
only when the community decides thats
something they want to do and an ofcer
expresses interest in the role, she added.
Its communities that theyre associ-
ated with, Best said. Its work they enjoydoing.
Unlike Bright, all the others deal with
an advisory council that is ormed as part
o the liaison program, she said. Best and
Bright said a similar council or the Jewish
community would probably be superuous.
I think the Jewish community had
made a lot o those [internal] connections
without having a liaison ofcer, Bright
said. Te department didnt necessarily
know that there was this [degree o] con-
nection within the community.
Liaisons between the Jewish commu-
nity and police departments exist nation-
wide. San Francisco has long had such a
program, as have Philadelphia and Phoe-
nix, and shomrim, or guard, societies, in
places with larger Jewish communities such
as New York work with local police as well.
At this early stage, Bright is unclear
as to how liaison work might extend into
Jewish neighborhoods and institutions in
suburban areas covered by Bellevue police,
the King County Sheris ofce and other
local agencies.
Tis is pretty new or me. Im not sure
yet, he said. Its an intriguing idea.
I dont know what kind o jurisdic-
tional issues itll create. I would certainly
be willing to work with the community in
Bellevue or on the Eastside, but jurisdic-
tionally I dont know i that would create
any conicts.
Bright grew up in the Kansas City area
and his wie in a suburb o St. Louis. Tey
live with their son, 15, and daughter, who
recently turned 13, near Fort Lewis, south
o acoma, about 40 miles rom his 3 a .m.-
to-noon patrol job. Te amily is active in
emple Beth El in acoma.

The Mirror of America: Jewish Composers on Broadway
Lecture
Another lecture by Dr. Theodore Deacon, The Mirror of America: Jewish Com -
posers on Broadway will focus on how Jewish composers influenced the de-
velopment of American musicals over the decades. Deacon expounds upon the
movement that after decades of bawdy burlesque, vacuous varieties, and racy
revues, a number of American composers and producers felt the time had come
to reform the American musical comedy. Taking their inspiration from modern
theater and European operetta, these creative visionaries urged Broadway to-
ward what some considered more dignified productions.
At Temple Beth Am, 2632 NE 80th St., Seattle. RSVP to 206-525-0915 or
He taught at Yale or 11 years and also
spent six years at the University o Mary-
land.
Ruderman is a winner o two National
Jewish Book Awards or his work in Jewish
history, mysticism, spirituality, and sci-
ence, and was awarded his most recent NJB
award in 2011 or his book Early ModernJewry: A New Cultural History (Princ-
eton, 2010). He received the National
Foundation or Jewish Cultures lietime
achievement award in 2001 or his work in
Jewish history.
Bright, who especially enjoys digital
orensics investigations, said he became
curious about a liaison position aer work-
ing to establish contacts throughout the
North End, including one at the Men-
achem Mendel Seattle Cheder in April.
Te second time the rabbi called me at
home, o-duty, I thought, You know, we
have this Community Outreach Section,
Bright said. I wonder i they have a liaison
ofcer that the Jewish community could
contact whenever they have questions that
are not necessarily an emergency some
way that they could bring up issues or
make requests o the department?
He proceeded to contact the depart-
ment, learned there was no such liaison,
and asked to be considered should one be
selected. About our months later, he said,
I got an email back and they were saying,
Te jobs yours i you want it.

We sat at the graves and sang Jewi
songs Am Yisrael Chai, David Mele
Yisrael Chai Vikayam, he recalled. T
dead people are listening to our songs, an
they are gladI imagined that the mome
they were shot, they thought that ever
thing was lost.
Te dead people taught us a lessoTere is Am Yisrael, and we belong, h
said. It is me being shot, and coming up
got my strength, my being a Jew, rom th
dead people.
From there, Mendelevich said, I su
gested we have to establish an unde
ground movement to save Am Yisrael.
Now the head o the religious-Zioni
Machon Meir Yeshiva in Jerusalem, Me
delevich described his rst encounters wi
Jewish practice.
Strange people, he thought, havin
a new year in September. Its not snow
ing yet. He credits not his classmates, b
God, with bringing him to those rst Ros
Hashanah services. As his ervor to save th
people o Israel increased, it occurred
him: He had to take on traditional Jewis
observance, little that he knew about it.
I had a eeling I had to sacrice som
thing, he said. So he called out to Go
I you make me ree rom Soviet army
promise you to become a believing Jew.
According to Mendelevich, God cam
through on the promise. Even in priso
aer the oiled plot, Mendelevich proud
identied as a Jew.
When I got involved in this activism
I discovered meaning! he exclaimed. M
lie was joyul, you know?
Admitting that I am not a Jewish acti
ist would mean or me to nish my lie
he said.

PeteR klein spcil o JtNwAn opera written in a Nazi concentra-
tion camp about a murderous ruler who
tries to outdo Death himsel might sound
ar-etched. But that is exactly the story
behind Te Emperor o Atlantis, to be
perormed by Music o RemembranceNovember 16 and 18 at Benaroya Hall.
MOR launches its 15th season with the
opera composed by Viktor Ullman while
imprisoned at erezn, along with works by
Ernest Bloch and pioneering Israeli com-
poser Marc Lavry. Seattle Symphony music
director Ludovic Morlot will conduct.
Atlantis will be sung in English by a
cast o mostly local singers.
Its very accessible, says MORs artis-
tic director Mina Miller. Its as much
musical theater as it is opera.
Miller notes that the piece has many
aspects o Kurt Weill cabaret, with
plenty o sharp-edged satire. I youre
new to opera, she adds, you will see and
hear a great example o how music can
bring human stories to lie.
Viktor Ullman (18981944) was a prom-
inent composer and conductor who worked
in Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia.
Tough he was only hal-Jewish and raised
Catholic, he was still considered a Jew under
Nazi racial laws. Ullman was deported to the
erezn concentration camp in 1942.
erezn (Teresienstadt) was actually a
holding camp or the death camps, but was
presented to the outside world as a para-
dise ghetto. Many prominent Jewish cul-
tural gures were imprisoned there, who
gave the camp a rich artistic lie despite its
harsh conditions. Ullman composed pro-
lically at erezn, writing Te Emperor
o Atlantis with librettist Peter Kien
during the latter hal o 1943.
Te plot: Te mighty Emperor Overall
proclaims total war. All humankind will ght
and all will be killed. Death, angered that his
role has been usurped, goes on strike.
Since no one can die, all manner o
bizarre situations ensue. wo opposing
soldiers a man and a woman cannot
kill each other, so they make love instead.
Te sick and wounded protest their limbo
between lie and death. Te emperors
power begins to crumble. Eventually,
Death proposes a solution to the impasse,
which we wont give away here.
Atlantis actually went into rehearsal
at erezn, but the Nazi authorities saw
parallels between the emperor and Hitle
and banned it. Ullman gave his sco
to the camp librarian, who survived th
Holocaust. In October 1944, Ullman w
deported to Auschwitz and murdered
the gas chambers, along with most o h
ellow luminaries.
Ullmans music is a rich synthesis
many musical sounds rom the rst pa
o the 20th century. One can hear Germa
Romanticism, the inuence o Ullman
teacher Arnold Schoenberg, and the jaz
tinged, cynical ambience that perm
ated Berlin in the 1920s. A lullaby ro
the Tirty Years War (which decimate
Germanys population in the 1600
appears. Te hymn A Mighty Fortress
If you goThe Emperor of Atlantis will
be performed Friday, Nov. 16
at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 18
at 6 p.m. For tickets and
information, visitwww.musicofremembrance.org.
The rst 100 high school stu-
dents who sign up there will
receive a free ticket to the
concert. Tickets are $36.
