Th cltr o sccss anailr
Jonathan S. tobin JNS.orgAlls air in love, war and politics. So it is
to be expected that Jewish Democrats desir-
ous o President Obamas re-election will
be doing their best to perpetuate the ideathat Republican presidential candidate Mitt
Romneys oreign trip this month was an
unmitigated disaster. But the media narra-
tive about his trip to Israel is one that ought
to worry supporters o Israel no matter
which party or candidate they support.
Romney is said to have disgraced him-
sel by saying that i you want to under-
stand the stark contrast between the success
o Israel and the ailure o the Palestin-
ians, Culture makes all
the dierence. It was to be
expected that the Palestin-
ian Authority (PA) would
attack him. But the Ameri-
can mainstream media has
been almost as scathing in
describing it as an insult.
While political observ-
ers will rightly put this
down as just one among
scores o minor skirmishes
in a long presidential cam-
paign that wont have
much impact on the nal
outcome, the controversy
is actually quite signii-
cant in terms o what it
reveals about American attitudes toward
the Middle East. Far rom Romney being
revealed to be a oolish dabbler in or-
eign policy whose blunders have exacer-
bated an already troubled peace process,
his comments were actually quite accurate
about the reasons why Israel is a haven o
ree enterprise and the areas run by the
PA are, to be charitable, a basket case. It
is, instead, Romneys critics, such as the
pompous editorialists at the New York
imes, who are demonstrating their pro-
ound ignorance. Whats more, it is the
reusal o so many allegedly inormed
observers o the region, as well as Amer-
ican and European political gures, to
admit that what Romney said was true,
that is enabling the corruption and vio-
lence that continues to sink any hopes o
Palestinian reorm.
Te act that the key to success lies
in the political and economic culture
o a nation is something that has been
acknowledged by virtually every credible
authority on the subject. Indeed, even the
United Nations Arab Human Develop-
ment Report noted that existing cultural
norms in the Arab world are a primary
obstacle to progress.
Romneys critics say hes wrong because
Israels occupation is the reason why
the West Bank and Gaza are so depressed.
While the continuance o the conlict
because o Palestinian intransigence doesnt
help development, that is not the cause o
all their problems. As anyone who has even
a passing knowledge o how the PA govern-
ment in the West Bank, as well as the ind
pendent Palestinian state (in all but nam
that Hamas governs in Gaza, work, o
cial corruption is the rule rather than thexception. Te complete absence o the ru
o law there is not the ault o Israel but
the terrorist organizations masquerading
political parties who run those places.
Instead o concentrating on osterin
ree enterprise and creating trust, the ocu
o the Fatah-run entity is the enrichme
o the ruling elite and the continuance
the war on Israel. Following in the oo
steps o Yasser Araat, Mahmoud Abb
and his cronies have squandered or stole
most o the billions that have been poure
into these areas by the European Unio
and the United States.
Palestinians are not just hampered b
the Arab cultural backwardness in whic
human rights are abused, women are di
criminated against, and gays and rel
gious minorities are persecuted. Tey a
harmed by their own particular culture,
which rejection o the legitimacy o Isra
and omenting o hatred against Jews h
given their leaders license to eschew pea
and gloriy violence. Anyone who ignor
this truth and the need or Palestinians
undergo a cultural sea change or peace o
prosperity to have a chance is doing the
no avor.
Te troubling aspect o this story
not whether Romney will be hurt by it, b
whether riends o Israel on both sides
the political aisle will continue to avoid th
truth about the Palestinians. Neither pol
ical correctness nor the political advantag
that Democrats seek justies the attac
on Romneys remarks. Anyone who car
about peace in the Middle East includin
Jewish liberals ought to be echoing th
Republican on this issue, not attacking him

Islam is the perfect religion for Muslims. Christianity is the perfect religion for Christians. Judaism is the perfect religion for Jews.

Edgar M. bronfMan JTa World Nws SrvcNEW YORK (JA) Troughout a
hal-century o international diplomatic
work, I have learned to tell the politi-
cians rom the riends and the charlatansrom the statesmen. Charlatans scream.
Tey tell you what you want to hear and
call other people names. Friends and lead-
ers need not rely on rhetoric or boisterous
bravado. Tey produce results and act on
principle.
President Obama is such a riend and
leader. In his 3-1/2 years in oce he has
deepened and strengthened the relation-
ship between the United States and Israel.
And today, Obama continues to imple-
ment a comprehensive pro-Israel agenda
that has made Israel saer and more secure.
Under Obama, U.S. nancial aid to
Israel is at its highest levels ever. During
the past our years, Israel has avoided
becoming engaged in any substantial
rontal military engagements, advanced
its notable economic development, and
remains prepared or negotiating a com-
prehensive peace. Obama as president
has led a mutually benecial resurgence
in the exchange o strategic technology,
intelligence and cooperation between
U.S. armed orces and the Israel Deense
Forces.
Standing by Israel, Obama opposed the
unilateral declaration o a Palestinian state
and blocked its recognition at the United
Nations. He supported Israels right to
deend itsel and conronted head-on the
now-discredited Goldstone Report that
condemned Israeli deensive action o its
coast. He also ordered the United States to
withdraw rom the Durban Review Con-
erence, whose namesake conerence was
supposed to be about racism but instead
became an anti-Israel hate-est. Obama
stated unequivocally that he United
States will stand up against eorts to single
Israel out at the United Nations or in any
international orum.
Going even urther, Obama has taken
the oor o the United Nations to declare
that Israels existence must not be a sub-
ject or debate and that eorts to chip
away at Israels legitimacy will be met
only by the unshakable opposition o the
United States.
When Fatah and Hamas joined polit-
ical orces and pressured Israel to enter
negotiations with them, Obama told the
world that No country can be expected
to negotiate with a terrorist organization
sworn to its destruction, concluding that
Israel cannot be expected to negotiate
with Palestinians who do not recognize its
right to exist.
And this is also why Obama has taken
such a strong stand against the Iranian
nuclear program the single greatest
threat to the State o Israel and the stability
o the Middle East. Afer years o inaction
and neglect by the Bush administration,
Obama constructed an international coali-tion to impose the most crippling sanc-
tions ever on the Iranian regime. Tese
sanctions have already chocked o Irans
access to many capital markets and have
had a proound eect on the way ehran
nances its nearious operations. Covert
U.S. operations targeting Irans nuclear
inrastructure reportedly have also slowed
their rate o progress.
While his opponents can talk tough on
Iran, the president is doing what is nec-
essary to prevent Iran rom developing a
nuclear weapon.
Nevertheless, despite clear acts and
substantial evidence, political partisans
and opponents o the president continue
a coordinated campaign to distort reality
in a brazen attempt to ool the public. Te
same type o people who called Obama
a closet Muslim and claimed he was not
born in the United States now exercise lin-
guistic calisthenics to obuscate the truth
and portray the president as hostile to the
Jewish State. Nothing could be urther
rom the truth.
Not long ago, while sitting in the Oval
Oce, Obama looked me in the eye and
said, My commitment to Israels security
is bone deep. He did not have to say it. I
already knew that President Obama would
never orsake the Jewish State, its security,
and its people. His record o perormance
is crystal clear and the charlatans cannot
change that.
My ather beore me actively supported
Jewish communities around the world and
prior to 1948 closely worked with those
establishing the modern State o Israel. For
more than a hal century, I have worked
with successive Israeli governments and
U.S. presidents Republican and Demo-
crat to provide or the saety and secu-
rity o the Jewish people and the State o
Israel.
My amily has loved, worked, invested
in and supported the State o Israel, its
security and its people since beore its
ounding. We have not always agreed with
its policies, but we have always been there
to support and deend its government
and people. We are connected to every
acet o Jewish lie and want nothing more
than Israels peace, security, vibrancy and
prosperity. I am condent that President
Obama shares our values and I shall con-
dently vote or him in November.

All that w n
rabbi JaninE SchloSS Tmpl Bth amI have a conession to
make. You see, I thought Iwas pretty modest, but Ive
recently learned that I might
have been haughtier than I
thought I was. You want to
hear the story? Sure! Heres
how it begins.
Like I said, I think Im
pretty modest. I dont have
a lot o clothes; I dont spend
a lot o time concerned with
how I look. I dont brag about my house or
my trips or my kids school. So i you had
asked me this question a ew years or even
a ew months ago, I would have comort-
ably told you that I think I control my pos-
sessions and my wants pretty well.
hat was beore the divorce. Even
though my husband and I separated quite
amicably, we still had to divide up our
possessions. Te process was understand-
ably dicult, and it was the rst time that
I began to realize how important my pos-
sessions were to me.
Ten we had to sell the house, and
thats when the real trouble began. I love
my house. Its beautiul and its big and
everything I owned could t in it. Te
problem is, when you get divorced, you
have to get two houses or the price o one.
So surprise, surprise, the rental home that
I moved into a ew weeks ago is hal the
size o my previous home. It wasnt until I
started unpacking that I truly realized how
manythings I own! I think I could ll my
new kitchen three times over and still not
have enough room or everything!
Tis weeks orah portion, Ekev, talks
about this exact experience. God tells us:
ake care lest you orget the Eternal your
God. When you have eaten your ll, and
have built ne houses to live in, and your
herds and ocks have multiplied, and your
silver and gold have increased, and every-
thing you own has prospered, beware lest
your heart grow haughty and you orget
the Eternal Your God (Deu
8:11-14).God is sending us a ver
important message. God
saying: When weve eate
everything we want to ea
and weve built a big house
live in, and our possession
have not only increased b
multiplied, we run the risk
becoming ull o ourselve
Te more we have, the mo
likely we are to become conceited and sel
absorbed.
Not only that, but the more we hav
the less ofen we give thanks to God. Sud
denly the money in our bank accoun
seems like a tting reward or our bri
liance. We believe we deserve to be so we
o and perhaps most tragically o all
we orget to give to others who have le
than we do.
So too with me. I had eaten my ll,
was living in a ne house, and I had pro
pered. I had plenty, but I had gotten t
the point where I no longer appreciated
Worst o all, I had orgotten to give thank
to God or the goodness around me.
I am grateul that the lesson o Eke
came just when it did. Now that I
downsizing, I need to nd a way to e
just as proud o mysel and my home n
matter how many bathrooms there a
(or arent!) in my new house. I need
stay appreciative and I need to rememb
to give to others, even as I begin this ne
stage in my lies journey.
Most o all, with every box that
unpack, I need to remember to thank Go
or the tremendous good in my lie. I hav
a roo over my head, I have beds or m

Help support two great institutionshelping kids
In a perect world every child would be happy and healthy. Unortunately, the real
world doesnt work that way and not all children are able to enjoy good health. But
ortunately, many o those young people who have health issues have two premiere
northwest institutions to turn to or some o the best pediatric care in the country. Tey
are Childrens Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Childrens Hospital in Oregon.
QFC is proud to support these two great organizations as our charities o the month
or August. Each is a leader in providing superior patient care and using research to
advance new t reatments.
Childrens Hospital in Seattle has been treating children regardless o race,
religion, gender or a amilys ability to pay since 1907 and provided over $100 million
in uncompensated care in 2011. It has consistently been ranked among the best
childrens hospitals in the U.S. and serves as a pediatric and adolescent reerral center
or Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Seattle Childrens consists o three
organizations, Seattle Childrens Hospital, Seattle Childrens Research Institute and
Seattle Childrens Hospital Foundation.Childrens Hospital provides inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical,
rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services. It has 254 beds and a sta
o over 1,200 proessionals, including over 700 doctors. In 2011, it had over 300,000
patient visits, including visits to o-site clinics. Seattle Childrens Research Institute
has nine major centers with over 350 investigators researching hundreds o diseases
and disorders in elds such as cancer, genetics, immunology, pathology, inectious
disease, injury prevention and bioethics. Researchers in the centers collaborate with
each other and with their colleagues at partner institutions including the University o
Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Doernbecher Childrens Hospital began serving patients in 1926 in Portland
and is now afliated with Oregon Health and Sciences University. It has clinics in
several communities around the state o Oregon and one in Vancouver, Washington.
Like Childrens Hospital in Seattle, Doernbecher is involved in research which is
quickly translated into new treatments. Specic areas o research include cardiology,
neurology, weight regulation, metabolism, oncology and stem cell research.
Both Childrens Hospital in Seattle and Doernbecher Childrens Hospital believe
that children should have compassionate, amily-centered care. Both are at the
oreront o pediatric medical research so that they can advance new treatments in
their quests to prevent, treat and eliminate pediatric disease. You can join QFC in
supporting these great institutions by donating at any check stand using the $1, $5, or
$10 scan cards or by dropping change in coin boxes.

gwEn daviS, Spcl to JTNwsIslam is the perect religion or Mus-
lims. Christianity is the perect religion or
Christians. Judaism is the perect religion
or Jews, said Rabbi Jim Mirel at woFaiths, One God, an event that brought
Jews and Muslims to the synagogue to
pray and break the asts o isha BAv and
Ramadan together.
Te July 29 event joined members o
the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and
emple Bnai orah. Mirel, o B, and
the Ahmadiyya Muslim Communitys
leader, Anwar Mahmood Khan, spoke
about the unity o the two religions.
Brothers and sisters, Mirel began,
we both praise, honor and try to ollow
the best we can God. Sometimes we
have the Arabic word or God, Allah.
Sometimes we have the Hebrew word,
Elohim. And other times we have the Eng-
lish word, God. But, one God.
He continued, Its wonderul learning
about the wonderul tradition o Islam,
which, as you know, is our sister religion.
Tis is a great gathering, Khan said
when he addressed the audience. It teaches
that people rom dierent aiths might have
dierent ideologies, but they believe in one
God. We all adhere to please our Creator,
to ask or orgiveness rom Him, to thank
Him and request o Him that He contin-
uously guide us in the best way He can so
that we can bring orth world peace.
Along with the addresses, the evening
alternated between Jewish and Muslim
prayers. Mirel and Khan told the con-
gregants to participate only i they elt
comortable. A orah and Quran exhibit
was set up in the social hall or people to
observe afer the services and beore and
during the break-ast meal.
Approximately 200 people joined the
event, with about 60 percent rom the
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the
rest Jews, mostly members o B, as well
as some Christians.
Both Jewish and Muslim attendees
seemed happy that this event was taking
place.
I was always impressed with how the
Islamic aith embraced the Jewish proph-
ets and Christian prophets and respected
the orah and Gospels in a manner that is
beautiul, said Phil Gerson, interaith dia-
logue coordinator at B. It sets the stage
or realizing were all connected.
I ofen read the Quran or the congreg
tion and at home, said 16-year-old Awa
Ahmae, who sang Quran versus during th
service. I eel blessed Im able to do thaIm happy Ive been blessed by God.
Te event was planned several month
ago when Khan reached out to Mirel, su
gesting the two organizations create a
interaith experience. Mirel proposed
should be on isha BAv, which this ye
coincided with Ramadan, when bot
groups ast.
Our celebration reminds us that th
tradition whether Jewish, Christian o
Islam the most important thing is to b
aithul and ollow God or Allah, Mir
said. Tats what its all about.

institutions in Israel have
made signicant leaps toward
the prevention and the detec-

On the prevention side,

cycles may also play a role in developing
the disease, according to his innovative
research on plant genes.
On the treatment side, researchers may

light technology, while other researchers
have come closer to nding a more precise
chemotherapy procedure that only attacks
cancer cells, and spares healthy ones.

markers, and Prevention and Obesity, has
prompted uture studies to see whether
weight loss as an adult can reverse this
eect, or whether a higher BMI acted on a
genetic mutation to produce the cancers.
Shamiss has a hunch that childhood
obesity may be linked to several other can-
cers, including the subject o his current
research, pancreatic cancer.
Pants and humans
In a highly innovati
study coming out o AUManna Center or Plant Bi
sciences, its director, pla
geneticist and proess
Daniel Chamovitz, ound th
plants can see, smell, touc
and taste, although not t
same as humans do, and th
we share a large part o the
genetic makeup.
Chamovitz discovered th
plants, humans, and animals all share th
genes that makes us sensitive to light an
regulate our circadian rhythm, cell div
sion and immune system.
When his team studied ruit li
that had a mutation in these genes, t
researchers ound that they developed
ruit-y type o leukemia and that the
circadian rhythms were o. Te ruit i
exhibited something like jetlag.
Te same group o proteins that plan
use to decide i they are in the light
dark is also used by animals and humans
Chamovitz reported to AU sta. Fir
they control the circadian rhythm, the bi
logical clock that helps our bodies keep
24-hour schedule. Second, they contr
the cell cycle which means we can lea
more about mutations in these genes th
lead to cancer.
Chamovitzs nding could also le
to the use o plants as subjects or c
research, replacing much o the anim
subjects used in research today.

knew he had a treasure in his hands a
nearly century-old booklet or Ladino-
speaking Jews immigrating to the UnitedStates that eatured English, Ladino and
Yiddish expressions to help them accultur-
ate into their new communities.
I thought to mysel, Ive got a real nd
here, said Azose, the cantor emeritus at
Congregation Ezra Bessaroth in Seattle,
whose amily came rom urkey.
So he became one o many people in
Seattle to share a Ladino artiact with Devin
Naar, an assistant proessor in Jewish stud-
ies at the University o Washington who
is trying to uncover, collect, preserve and
digitize the rich heritage o Sephardi Jews.
While small collections o Ladino books
and documents can be ound at the Library
o Congress, the American Sephardi Fed-
eration and Yeshiva University, Naar says
his project, the Seattle Sephardic reasures,
is the rst community-based initiative to
gather Ladino source materials in one place.
More than 10,000 Yiddish books are
readily accessible and digitized through
the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst,
Mass., but no equivalent exists or Ladino
and virtually no original Ladino books
can be accessed online, said Naar, whose
eort is part o the larger Sephardic Stud-
ies Initiative o the University o Washing-
tons Stroum Jewish Studies Program.
Ladino, also known as Judeo-Spanish,
was the language o Sephardi Jews whose
ancestors were expelled rom Spain in 1492
and then settled throughout the Mediterra-
nean basin o the Ottoman Empire.
Its Ashkenazi counterpart, Yiddish,
continues to survive through Yiddish-
speaking haredi Orthodox communities
and some secular advocates o the lan-
guage. Ladino, however, has aced a steep
decline in the past century. While Yiddish
has more than 3 million speakers world-
wide, UNESCO estimates that ewer than
150,000 people still speak Ladino.
Gloria Ascher, co-director o Judaic
Studies at ufs University, oers sev-
eral reasons or the languages precipitous
dropo: 90 percent o Ladino speakers,
particularly in places such as Bulgaria and
Greece, were murdered during the Holo-
caust; with the rise o Zionism, Hebrewis emphasized as the central Jewish lan-
guage; and Ladino-speaking immigrant
parents encourage their children to speak
the native language o their new countries,
such as English.
Afer New York and Los Angeles, Seat-
tle has the third largest Sephardi com-
munity in the United States. According
to a 2000 study by the Jewish Federation
o Greater Seattle, there are 2,700 Sep-
hardi households in the communitys total
22,490 Jewish households.
Naar started collecting materials at Ezra
Bessaroth, a Sephardi synagogue, at the
annual Purim bazaar in March. He already
has gathered dozens o documents, includ-
ing a rare Ladino textbook published in
Salonika, Greece, in 1929. He even ound
a set o letters rom the 1930s written by
9-year-old Claire Barkey rom the Island o
Rhodes to her amily members in Seattle.
She was able to correspond her way
and her amilys way o the island o
Rhodes to evade Nazi persecution and to
nd saety in the U.S., Naar said. Te
entire story is preserved in the set o let-
ters. Its really an amazing story.
Te value o the objects should not be
underestimated, says Noam Pianko, chair
o the Stroum Jewish Studies Program.
Its the stories and the past o the Sep-
hardic Jewish community o Seattle, so
it has tremendous communal value, he
said. Tese documents are important on
a scholarly level as well. Tey tell an untold
and yet incredibly important story o the
Sephardic Jewish experience in America.
Many o the documents, he says, have
been buried in basements or closets and
breathe an authenticity that can never be
captured in academic works.

Jwish High: ral-worl
Jwish cationEMily K. alhadEff assoct edtor, JTNws
How do you make Jewish education
interesting and relevant to teenagers? Its
a question probably as old as the Jewish
people. And the organizers behind Jewish
High are taking a stab.
Were tremendously improving the
curriculum, especially the Jewish philos-
ophy or ethics curriculum, along with a
number o electives, said Rabbi Mark
Spiro, Jewish Highs principal. hey
should get a secure Jewish education, not
just talking heads.
J e w i s h H i g h
e me r ge s r om a
partnership ormed
in 2010 between
Hebrew High, a
n o n d e n o m i n a -
tional program o
the Jewish Federa-
tion o Greater Seat-
tle, and orah High,
an accredited pro-
gram out o oronto
adapted by Ari Ho-
man, the director o Seattles Orthodox
National Council o Synagogue Youth
chapter. Hebrew High closed its doors
afer 41 years this June, and in its place
have grown Jewish High and the Livnot
Project, a social justice curriculum.
At Jewish High JHigh or short
students attend two one-hour periods at
the Stroum Jewish Community Center on
Mercer Island. First, they choose an elec-
tive like conversational Hebrew, cook-
ing, Krav Maga, Israel advocacy, music, or
independent Jewish study then 9th and
10th graders head to Jewish values and
11th and 12th graders to Jewish ethics.
Jewish High also oers a junior high pro-
gram or 6th8th graders.
Spiro hopes the students will discuss
and debate and come to their own con-
clusions. Te Jewish values class covers
a spectrum o Jewish oundational con-
cepts such as God, orah, reward and pun-
ishment, and community; Jewish ethics
works through applying such concepts to
real-lie ethical dilemmas and situations.
So, how do you make Jewish educa-
tion interesting and
relevant to teenag-
ers? You pay them.
And give them school
credit . For every
riend students sign
up, they get $20, and
the student who signs
up the most riends
wins a trip to Israel.
But the real driving
orce behind Jewish
High is its accredita-
tion program, which
has expanded since the days o orah
High.
We are ully adapting the model that
has proven very successul in Canada,
said Homan, reerring to the original
orah High, where students earn school
credit or their supplementary school
classes. Homan is the dean o Jewish
High.
Homan is particularly excited about
a new program he and two partners, Josh
Russak and Greg Berretta, are implement-
ing called Business Ethics orah, or B.E..

Mak wa or Gnration Z
JaniS SiEgEl JTNws CorrspondntMove over Generations X and Y, the
Jewish Generation Z is making its Seat-
tle debut. Trough a new Jewish high
school program ocused on social justice,
there will be no classrooms in sight.
Gone is the Community High Schoolo Jewish Studies (Hebrew High) that was
centered in the Stroum Jewish Commu-
nity Center and where a cascade o Jewish
teachers and leaders imparted wisdom to
youth in chairs and desks or 41 years.
Beginning in October and during the
rst year, small groups o students in
the Livnot program will travel to jus-
tice organizations throughout Seattle,
say program creators. High schoolers will
engage with ood justice programs, envi-
ronmental agencies, and homelessness
prevention organizations. Tey will also
work in a peer-to-peer Muslim-Jewish
dialogue group.
Generation Z students, born rom
1994 to the present, are an exceptional
group o young adults who are much
more savvy than previous generations and
require a shif in how institutions connect
with them, Julie Hayon, Livnots educa-
tion director, told JNews via email. Tey
are digital nativeshave strong connec-
tions to a broad range o people, and they
tend to orm relationships with people,
not institutions.
Hayon, who last year moved to Seattle
with her amily rom exas, was recruited
or the education director position. She
has spent the bulk o her 15-year career
working in dierent acets o Jewish edu-
cation across the country, and has directed
programs ranging rom K8 to adult
learning.
Generation Z was also born into glo-
balization, Hayon said. Students are
aware o the larger world, they see them-
selves as part o something bigger, and
want to be part o global change and inno-vation. In addition, Generation Z is very
creative. Te Internet has allowed students
to explore art, music and language and
participation in these media.
Livnot students will get involved in
projects and get to see, rsthand, how and
why social service organizations operate.
Tey will also go on extended retreats
during the year as well as service-learning
trips that will reinorce the experiences
theyve been having in the commu-
nity organizations theyve been visiting
throughout the year. Once a month, the
entire student body will come together or
think tanks.
According to research used in mod-
eling the Livnot program, Irit Eliav, edu-cation director at Congregation Beth
Shalom, told JNews that Z-ers are polit-
ically aware, socially conscious, and tech-
nologically astute. Z-ers, she said, eel
more condent than ever that they can
make change and that they can persuade
their peers to ollow along.
Tis program is designed to capitalize
on these strengths and interests, while also
being rooted in Jewish tradition and learn-
ing, Eliav said. We held ocus groups
or teens, met with them one on one, and
asked them questions at youth group
meetings and events. Tey were very clear
that they wanted high-quality learning, a
chance to engage in tikkun olam [repair-
ing the world], and to have a chance to
participate in these experiences with their
riends. Tis program is designed to meet
all o these needs.
Te Jewish Federation o Greater Sea
tle gave Livnot a $35,000 grant in startu
unds. Other monies came rom priva
donors, and tuition will round out th
remainder o its operating budget. T
program, originally conceived o by staand clergy at Congregation Beth Shalom
and Herzl-Ner amid, was urther deve
oped by a board made up o clergy and la
members working over the last year.
Carol Starin, Livnot committee co
chair with Donna Peha, said she is look
ing orward to the pilot year o the projec
Im very excited, because it is bold, it
new, its pretty creative, and its scary, to
because I dont think our community ha
ever done anything like this, Starin said
Its not going to be ocused in just on
place and all o the learning is going to b
ocused on social justice issues. Tey ar
going to have choices.
Beginning October 7, students wi
gather at Jewish Family Service rom 5:3
to 8 p.m. or their rst think tank sessio
called Why Poverty Exists. Ken Wein
berg, CEO o Jewish Family Service, w
speak. Parents are welcome to attend th
session and dinner will also be available.
eaching will also look very dierent i
the Livnot program. Jewish teachings w
accompany each eight-week module, bu
they may come rom a variety o sources
Tere will be texts, but I dont know
there will be textbooks, added Starin.
text might be rom the orah or a almu
text, or a novel. It will depend on what
is theyve chosen to learn. What are bein
hired are text people.

Hbrw school rom hom
olivia roSEn JTNws intrnraditional Hebrew school has under-
gone a 21st-century makeover with the
introduction o Live Online Learning
(L.O.L.), a new Seattle-based Jewish edu-
cation program that provides an inno-
vative way or students to study orahonline. L.O.L., a project o Congregation
Ezra Bessaroth in conjunction with orah-
utors, an international program that
conducts orah study through video con-
erencing, plans to educate local students
coming rom any Jewish background in a
live, hassle-ree video-chat ormat.
he ongoing and uture health o
our community depends on cultivating
an authentic and relevant Jewish iden-
tity, said Rabbi Ron-Ami Meyers, Ezra
Bessaroths rabbi, a teacher at the Seat-
tle Hebrew Acad-
emy, coounder and
director o orah-
utors, and leader o
the L.O.L. program.
Familiarity and even
uency in our clas-
sical sources goes
a long way in org-
ing such an identity.
My central goal [or
L.O.L.], which uels
much o what I have
done proessionally over the past two-and-
a-hal decades, is the dissemination and
clear articulation o orah knowledge.
L.O.L.s technology integrates video
camera, microphone, instant chat, and
desktop applications to allow teachers to
ully engage and communicate with their
students. Rabbi Meyers has been using
this platorm, developed by Cisco-Webex,
or over our years during his work with
orahutors and is condent the pro-
gram will be successul due to the learn-
ing opportunities accessible through the
video-conerencing system.
Te Webex desktop comes along with
annotating tools like highlighters, arrows
and other eatures that help students ocus
on the sources were studying, Meye
said. Students can oer ideas and a
questions via a privately directed chat
or share their ideas orally or by chat wit
the rest o the class. Whats unique abo
the L.O.L. learning style is that the teachviews him or hersel as a acilitator. F
rom giving a rontal class, the instru
tor introduces texts and solicits studen
response in interpreting the sources.
L.O.L. is primarily intended or Sea
tle children over 8 years old who are n
currently enrolled in a local Jewish d
school, explained Meyers, but will eventu
ally expand to oer adult and teen inte
est classes as well. Groups o any age w
soon be able to solicit particular topics
interest, and the L.O.L. team will work
ormulate a curric
lum tailored to the
requests.
L.O.L. will o
our initial cours
or the all 2012 se
sion: Year In, Ye
Out, an overview
the major themes an
holidays through
out the Jewish yea
orah on the
o Your ongue,

Neighbor, a study o the history an

almud, a weekly session on the conte
and structure o the almud. Class si
will be limited to around six students p
eight-week course in order to ensure th
teachers are able to provide personalize
attention to students individual lear
ing needs.
L.O.L plans to utilize community spo
sorships as the primary source o undin
or the program. Rabbi Meyers is hop
ul this unding will allow him to provid
additional class resources and expand th
menu and scope o L.O.L. course oerin

One o our goals is to bring Jewish
people rom all around the community to
create community, said Marave Herbst-
man. Its a beautiul piece o property near
the reservoir. Tis is also a space where
adults will have an opportunity to meet.
Te Chabad Hebrew School is a pro-
gram o Chabad o the Pacic Northwest.
he Chabad-Lubavitch movement hosts
the supplementary school program in cities
across the United States and internationally.
According to MMSCs director o busi-
ness and development ziviah Goldberg,
the schools implementation is a response
to requests or a Jewish educational pro-
gram by mostly unaliated amilies that are
not ready to send their kids to day school.
We had many people asking in the
community or some type o program that
would address mostly unaliated Jews,
that would be something that they could
take part in that wouldnt be a day school
program, said Goldberg. Te hope is to
catch those kids that are not quite ready
or day school, and give them a rich Jewish
experience.
Te target amily is composed o people
who are exploring Judaism, and not really
looking or a shul, Goldberg said, but rather
more looking or a community. Tey dont
necessarily eel that theyre going to nd that
through the synagogue experience.
Te teaching duo describes the lessons
on their website, www.seattlechs.com, asmulti-sensory and hands-on.
Avi Herbstman brings a condence-
and team-building educational method
called Project Adventure, which he has
been using or over two years, to the
Hebrew school. Its value, according the
website, is to promote sel-condence,
learn group dynamic skills, help with
physical coordination, and to learn social
skills.
Its a mode o learning that the chil-
dren will walk in or their whole lives, he
said. Project Adven-
ture is a team-build-
ing program that
enhances working
together, [teaches]
how to be a leader,
[and asks] How do
you deal with disap-
pointment? How do
you deal with lies
sudden blows?
Marave Herbst-
man, who is a certi-
ed Montessori educator, said she intends
to have a jam-packed un time planned
or the young ones when they come each
week.
I would start o with circle time
preparing them or what well be doing
next, she said, and then, maybe do arts
and crafs or baking or cooking some-
thing that would make it personal or the
kids who are coming.
Ten, have a snack and talk about
where ood comes rom and what bless-
ings go with the ood, she added. Well
be making our own, maybe a ruit salad or
smores, and they prepare it so that will be
exciting.
In addition to learning to read and
write Hebrew, students will also learn their
way around the siddur (prayer book), and
theyll study the orah portion associated
with each week and learn about Israel.
Using the Montessori materials that
she has been developing or years along
with her sta, Marave Herbstman said
children will experience mock holiday
meals leading up to Jewish holy days like
Rosh Hashanah and learn Shabbat rituals.
For now, the couple wants to limit
enrollment to about 15 children, keeping
the student-to-teacher ratio around seven-
to-one. As the program grows, they will
hire new teachers.
We look orward to building [our
school] through word o mouth, she said.
She hopes it will add to the strength o the
Seattle Jewish community. I denitely
think this is a beautiul piece to add to the
Northend. Its a link in our chain.

The study of Jewish Art since the 1800s has been
dedicated to collecting, explaining, and preserving
art works without digging too deeply or attempting
to decipher the symbols behind them until re-
cently. Many questions are now being asked: Are these symbols recognizable?
What is the history behind them? Were these symbols always Jewish?This lecture is about the basics of Hebrew symbols and the Jewish people as art-
ists. Be part of this informative and thought-provoking lecture by Andrea Diaz, an
independent Jewish art historian who has worked in this field for five years.
At Hillel at the University of Washington, 4745 17th Ave. NE, Seattle. For more in-
