world who received ellowships ldquoor contri-
butions to echnion and or the betterment
o the organizationrdquo she explains Among
the honorees was Alan Dershowitz
echnionrsquos and Israelrsquos histories are inex-
tricably linked says Naomi who has been
president o the Northwest chapter or five
years Founded in Haia in 1912 the school
its students and graduates were instrumen-
tal in building the inrastructure o the uture
Jewish state Te ellowship brings Naomi
ldquoull circle because my ather served in the

moon
Te June 15 ceremony
ldquowas amazingrdquo Naomi
says ldquomore than I evenexpectedrdquo Each ellow
stood as his or her accom-

Some extra excitement was
added because ldquowe needed

THE RABBIrsquoS TURN
OPINION
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5 2014 n WWWJEWISHSOUNDORG n JTNews
5
5775 minus one No limits
RABBI HARRY ZEITLIN Congregation Beth HarsquoAriYou donrsquot need a rabbi to
let you know which way the
wind blows mdash the world is incrisis Massacres in Syria and
Iraq and Nigeria and Mali
regional wars between Russia
and Ukraine renewed race
riots in the United States
much o the world economy
stuck in the doldrums and a
collapsing EU And Israelrsquos almost con-
stant battle or survival against terrorists
this time calling themselves Hamas
With so many urgent crises this is no
time to don blinders and willully reuse
to see our challenges our abilities and
our duties
God created an astonishingly com-
plex world as well as astonishingly com-
plex and capable creatures to partner with
Him Human beings are created ldquoBrsquotzelem
Elohimrdquo (in Godrsquos image) so i God is
ldquoKol Yacholrdquo (capable o all omnipo-
tent) we have no business placing artifi-
cial limits on ourselves (O course we are
ldquobrsquotzelemrdquo in the image of and not actu-
ally God but while we are limited most o
us both individually and institutionally
inflate these limits and then retract them
to the point that we become ineffectual)
Ultimately we will never ldquoabsolutely
knowrdquo why we were created or even why
the universe was created but our orah
does inorm us that relative to ldquoolamrdquo
the universe our job is to ldquopartnerrdquo with
the Creator to bring Creation to its ull-
est All mankind is mandated to be kind
to all living creatures to seek justice and
to live morally mdash these are the seven
Noahide mitzvot which bring one to the
threshold o humanness and civilization
As Jews wersquore also given the unique ldquotoolrdquo
o orah which contains the additional
606 mitzvot completing the 613 which
wersquore taught perorm the essential spiri-
tual unctions (beyond merely ldquocausing
no harmrdquo) that ully develop our world
and ourselves
Te mandate o what has come to be
called ldquosocial justicerdquo is just as incum-
bent on the entire Jewish people as is our
engagement with orah and mitzvot and
while each o us must specialize none o
us can opt out o any o it Contempo-
rarily you rarely see a serious mature
emphasis on mitzvah observance (which
includes studying the mitzvot and their
underlying logic and not merely blind
compliance or blind opposition) in pro-
gressive Jewish communities and institu-
tions
Likewise while many Orthodox com-
munities committed to traditional orah
study and mitzvah observance commend-
ably look out or their constit-
uencies they rarely leave their
own neighborhoods to join thelarger Jewish community in
social issues
Tere is little i any daylight
between the concepts o ldquoolam
habaMashiachrdquo and ldquoa just
worldrdquo theyrsquore different socio-
logical labels or the same ideal
Tis goal in terms o our human contri-
bution to it is beyond any single-pronged
approach We both need to create a just
society and also to bring an abstract and
intangible holiness ldquokedushahrdquo to the
world Additionally this highest level o
human evolution at least as it specifically
applies to the Jewish people requires that
each o us (or at least a critical mass o us)
reaches it individually
ldquoKol Yisrael arevim zeh lrsquozehrdquo (almud
Shavuot 39a) the ate o all Jews is inter-
twined is embedded into the undamen-
tal structure o reality In other words
none o us gets there until we all get there
together mdash ldquoLeave no Jew behindrdquo as it
were
One o the greatest challenges acing
our people today is that those o us who
ocus on orah and mitzvot too ofen dis-
miss Jews whose ocus is ldquoa just societyrdquo
and those Jews dismiss the ones whose
main ocus is traditional ldquoorah and mitz-
votrdquo observance Additionally we cannot
(and never have been able to) dismiss or
take or granted the survival o Israel and
o the Jewish People (which are identi-
cal) Tose who ocus on the political mil-
itary and diplomatic approaches to this
cannot ignore the other two priorities and
those ocusing on halachic or social issues
cannot turn away rom Israel especially
when she is under attack While each o
us will migrate to our strength we need
to incorporate the other considerations as
well into our efforts
Te genius o Judaism is that it reveals
reality as infinitely dimensional and it
gives us tools to work with all this beauti-
ul complexity
almud rather than merely generating
Te Rules (halachah) or relating olk-cul-
ture (aggadatah) trains us in techniques
to experience analyze and process both
empirically and intuitively directly and
by inerence associatively individually
collectively as well as in other parame-
ters all at the same time As we refine our
individual practice and experience o our
Jewish tradition we both see the world as
increasingly rich and ourselves as increas-
ingly capable
The governor was an anti-Semite
RUSSELL LIDMAN Special to JTNewsGovernor John R Rogers
enjoys a prominent place
in this state Schools arenamed afer him in Seattle
Spokane Olympia and else-
where around the state His
statue is located in Sylvester
Park in downtown Olym-
pia in ront o the Office o
the Superintendent o Public
Instruction building
Governor John R Rogers
was a noted Washington
State populist He was the
statersquos third governor serv-
ing rom 1897 through his
death in 1901 Carved in his
statue in Olympiarsquos Sylvester Park is this
quote ldquoI would make it impossible or the
covetous and avaricious to utterly impov-
erish the poor Te rich can take care o
themselvesrdquo His legacy is the ldquoBareoot
School Boy Actrdquo Tis was the basis o the
statersquos unding o public education reliev-
ing localities o a burden many could not
support Its aim was to guarantee unding
or an adequate education or children in
even the statersquos poorest areas o this day
this act is cited by advocates when they
express concern about the statersquos declin-
ing level o unding o public education
Te populists anticipated the ldquoOccupyrdquo
movement by over a century with their
ocus on the impacts on the typical Amer-
ican armer and worker o Wall Street
and o other domestic and oreign ldquorichrdquo
people
John R Rogers ocused his attention on
a particular group that in his view brought
about the first US great depression o the
1890s Jews
Here was the cause o the economic
distress in his 1892 book ldquoTe Irrepress-
ible Conflictrdquo
ldquoAs I write a daily paper o today lies
on the desk At the head o one the col-
umns I see a big lsquoscare headrsquo which reads
in startling letters MORE GOLD MAY
GO Tus the people who deal in money
are warned rom Europe that the money
market is to be made closer and tighter
Gold is shipped to Europe and the ability
o our people to buy and sell or exchange
labor and the products o labor is to be
still urther reduced by making all money
scarcer and harder to get he excuse
offered is lsquoEurope wants ou
Goldrsquo And because Europe mdash
or the Jewish Money Lords the world mdash can thus intere
in American trade and tak

Port protesters block nothing but traffic
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews CorrespondentChanting ldquoLong live Palestinerdquo and
ldquoFree Free Palestinerdquo underscored by a
mobile sound system playing a booming
pro-Palestinian political mixtape nearly
150 marchers came to erminal 18 at the
Spokane Street Fishing Area in Seattle onAugust 25 to stop longshoremen rom
reporting or their shifs and unloading
the ZIM Chicago an international Israeli
vessel that had been delay ed but not
thwarted rom delivering its cargo to the
Port o Oakland in Caliornia the previ-
ous week
ldquoTe ports the police the city the
mayor and the governorrsquos oice mdash
nobody supported the actionrdquo Andy
David Israelrsquos consul general or the
Pacific Northwest in San Francisco told
JNews ldquoTey are hurting a lot o Ameri-
cans and merchantsrdquo
According to David two ships arrived
on the day o the ldquoBlock the Boatrdquo protest
in Oakland One was unloaded However
the Israeli ship wasnrsquot until day our o the
delay and there was damage to urniture
coffee chemicals and other cargo he said
He lays the blame squarely at the eet
o that cityrsquos local International Longshore
and Warehouse Union
ldquoTe ILWU was cooperating with the
protesters and therersquos enough proo o
thatrdquo David said ldquoTe local branch issued
a statement saying it was not sae or the
workers to go past the line Tey were
offered to be bused in but they reused
When they were unloading they took
lunch breaks and didnrsquot come backrdquo
David said the eamsterrsquos Union
issued its own press release condemning
the protest
Local and national leaders ear that
uture disruption at the Port would result
in job losses and devastation or small
businesses already experiencing financial
hardship
ldquo I t rsquo s a
c o w a r d l y
tacticrdquo said
David ldquoand
it hurt mer-
c h a n t s e x p o r t e r s
truck drivers
gas stat ion
owners and
w a r e h o u s e
workersrdquo
Protesters
tried to block
the Chicago
when it arrived
at the Port o acoma on Aug 23 but
workers bypassed the crowd and unloaded
it rom another location surprising the
protesters
In Seattle on Aug 25 Block the Boat
only succeeded in blocking the public
roadway adjacent to the terminal imped-
ing cargo-filled trucks and mothers with
their kids rom driving through
Protesters also blocked the three vehi-
cle entrances to the dock restrained by a
ormidable and mobile Seattle police pres-
ence that ollowed the moving crowd on
bikes in cars and in SUVs
ldquoWorkers reported or work and all o
the cargo that was going to be handled was
handledrdquo Peter McGraw the support and
real estate supervisor or the Port o Seat-
tle told JNews ldquoTey arrived and lef on
schedulerdquo
McGraw said that port police were not
involved in this action and that no Port o
Seattle property was trespassed
ldquoIn cases like this we work with our
partner law enorcement agencies and
that includes the Seattle Police Depart-
mentrdquo he said
Still organizers claimed victory
ldquoOur goal is to prevent business as
usualrdquo Nada Elia one o the organizers o
Block the Boat told JNews Elia said the
crowd was a coalition o pro-Palestinian
groups including Jewish Voice or Peace
and national boycott divest and sanction
supporters in Seattle ldquoWe want to prevent
the workers rom coming to their shif
We are in solidarity with Gaza because it
is under an illegal blockade and cannot use
its portsrdquo
Elia said she had hoped to galvanize a
showing o 300 activists mdash the number she
said the group tallied in acoma two days
beore but a Block the Boat press release
reported the number to be closer to 150
Ed Mast another protest organizer and
an activist in the Seattle Mideast Aware-
ness Campaign the organization respon-
sible or placing ads on billboards and
Metro buses that call or the US to pull its
aid to Israel kept the protesters moving
and motivated as they aced down police
along their path and at their destinations
ldquoAny delay works because itrsquos about
sending the messagerdquo said Mast who also
said he believed the action by the crowd
accomplished its goals
Craig and Cindy Corrie o Olympia
the parents o Rachel Corrie who died in a
2003 protest in Gaza came to Seattle
support Block the Boat
Corrie said their pro-Palestinian mov
ment would like to enlist more suppo
rom the unions
ldquoI think there needs to be an expense
Israelrdquo he said ldquoJust like in South Aric
this has gone too ar Te US and Isra
are becoming more isolatedrdquo
One protester was arrested and w
bailed out later that evening
Jonathan Sword 39 o Seattle said h
rejects the use o anti-Semitic and ant
police overtones oten ound in the
kinds o protests but agrees with the
political aims
ldquoItrsquos complicated but I donrsquot thin
Israel is going to do this much longer
said Sword ldquoIt canrsquot go on like thisrdquo
hough blatantly anti-Semitic sign
had been spotted at protests at Westlak
Plaza in downtown Seattle througho
the summer the Block the Boat websi
stated explicitly that no such signs wou
be tolerated at these protests and non
appeared

Tis all the Seattle Hebrew Academy
welcomes Rabbi Daniel Loew to its ac-
ulty as principal a new position created
to bridge the schoolrsquos Judaic and general
studies
Loew comes to the Modern Ortho-dox dual-curriculum early childhood-8th
grade day school rom the Hebrew High
School o New England where he had been
head o school since 2005
Loewrsquos appointment ollows SHArsquos new
strategic plan which seeks to achieve aca-
demic excellence optimize enrollment
create a more sustainable financial model
and to expand the schoolrsquos role in the
Modern Orthodox community
ldquoWe are very determined to be the
epicenter o Modern Orthodoxyrdquo SHA
head o school Rivy Poupko Kletenik told
JNews ldquoWe want to see ourselves having
a role in the community at largerdquo
One aspect o achieving this goal is to
better bridge ldquoorah ursquomadahrdquo or Jewish
studies and general studies
ldquoTe more that we can do to bring the
two departments closer together the more
learning will happen in the classroomrdquo
Kletenik said ldquoWhat has been troubling
me or several years is the separation o
departments In the morning they learn
about Greeks mdash how great the Greeks are
In the afernoon they learn about Hanuk-
kah and how horrible the Greeks are Well
which one is itrdquo
Students end up compartmentalizing
their brains the same way their days are
compartmentalized Kletenik said
ldquoWe donrsquot want that or our kidsrdquo she
continued ldquoWe need a synthesized sel
We need someone whose two parts o their
brain are talking to each otherrdquo
As principal Loew will be the ldquocentral
addressrdquo or all teachers in the K-8 pro-
gram
ldquoAs a Modern Orthodox school the
orah inorms our lives and aithulnessto our tradition is absolutely paramountrdquo
said Loew ldquoAt the same time that leaves
so much opportunity and room or learn-
ing other disciplinesrdquo
ldquoTis is big newsrdquo said Kletenik ldquoI
donrsquot know o other schools that have this
structurerdquo
Jewish day schools across the country
struggle with the financial burden placed
on amilies retaining teachers who could
earn more in the public school system
and keeping educational standards top-
notch SHArsquos strategic plan seems to be
tackling this triecta o issues by improving
the financial model educational approach
and community relationships
ldquoPeople will recognize the value o this
education and continue to invest in itrdquo said
Kletenik
Raising the quality o the education at
his previous institution is something Loew
eels proud o
ldquoTe aculty in the classrooms [is] the
ront linerdquo said Loew ldquoIrsquove been really
pleased to work with the aculty at SHA
Tey seem really passionate and dedicated
and proessional Tatrsquos really where the
success o the school lies o empower the
aculty to do what they do bestrdquo
Loew and his wie Chanie moved here
rom Hartord Conn with their five chil-
dren mdash our boys in 9th grade and under
and a 3-year-old girl Feeling it was time
or a change Loew says they were open
to anything when the job with SHA came
around He said theyrsquove been warmly wel-
comed into the community and eel privi-
leged to be here
ldquoTings just sort o ell into place in
terms o what I was looking or and wh
SHA was looking orrdquo he said ldquoTis ju
seemed to be the place where God wante
usrdquo
Thinking strategically SHA hires principal to move school forward

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo
said Pinkseld ldquoWe want Seattle to become
a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo

eld made her the obvious choice to fill
the executive director position in Seattle
according to Carlyn Steiner president o
the regional AJC board Steiner said she
was motivated to extend an offer to Pinks-
eld during her initial interview
ldquoTe AJC board wanted to distance our-
selves rom the Jewish Film Festival and get
back to our mission o advocacy or Israeland Jews around the worldrdquo Steiner said
ldquoLila is the right person to respond to the
shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served
the leadership management director AIPAC in Houston and Seattle She w
responsible or educating the commun
ties about the lobbying process and how
impacts the US-Israel relationship
In the three years between her tw
assignments or AIPAC the NYU gradua
lived on a kibbutz in Northern Israel whe

duce itsel to the English speaking world

see a line o motorcycles
parked outside a dive bar
but lined up outside a
Jewish nursing acility mdash
you might do a double takeTat was the scene on
the sunny Sunday morn-
ing o August 24 when the ribe Seattlersquos
Jewish motorcycle club pulled up to the
Kline Galland Home
About 14 members o the ribe spent
two hours chatting with elderly residents
over coffee and donuts beore riding down
to Seward Park or the annual picnic they
sponsor or Seattle Area Jews
with Disabilities a program
o Jewish Family Service Tis
was the first time they had vis-
ited Kline Galland as a group
Te idea came rom two ribemembers who have parents
living there
Rosie Coe the only emale rider that day
visited with her mother Perla Schneider
ldquoMom were you araid when I started
riding motorcyclesrdquo Coe asked her mother
ldquoI thought you were in good handsrdquo
Schneider responded reerring to Coersquos
fianceacute Bruce Lobree who got her into the
hobby
Lobreersquos leather riding vest

yellow star with ldquonever againrdquo
written across it Another is a
Star o David that says ldquoproud
Jewish bikerrdquo And o course in
the center o his back is his own
clubrsquos patch a Star o David in
flames above it a orah scroll
unurled that reads ldquoTe riberdquo
ldquoWhen I heard about the
ribe it was like this camara-
derierdquo said Coe ldquoItrsquos special
because wersquore all Jews and we
all ride motorcycles Itrsquos pretty
coolrdquo
According to the JewishMotorcycle Alliance ldquohe
common thread is our religion
however membership or admit-
tance to our member clubs is
not dictated by aith or brand
o motorcycle riders o any
denomination or brand o bike
are welcomerdquo Clubs around the
country go by names like Chai

said Myles Kahn a rider and
the vice president o emple De
Hirsch Sinai ldquoWe all get along
and we all have a common
backgroundrdquo
Je Kay the unoicial
leader looks like a tough guy

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

We had previously been invited to join with them and a group of Holocausurvivors for lunch and based on that lovely occasion we eagerly accepted th

equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

in the Middle

by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

THE RABBIrsquoS TURN
OPINION
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5 2014 n WWWJEWISHSOUNDORG n JTNews
5
5775 minus one No limits
RABBI HARRY ZEITLIN Congregation Beth HarsquoAriYou donrsquot need a rabbi to
let you know which way the
wind blows mdash the world is incrisis Massacres in Syria and
Iraq and Nigeria and Mali
regional wars between Russia
and Ukraine renewed race
riots in the United States
much o the world economy
stuck in the doldrums and a
collapsing EU And Israelrsquos almost con-
stant battle or survival against terrorists
this time calling themselves Hamas
With so many urgent crises this is no
time to don blinders and willully reuse
to see our challenges our abilities and
our duties
God created an astonishingly com-
plex world as well as astonishingly com-
plex and capable creatures to partner with
Him Human beings are created ldquoBrsquotzelem
Elohimrdquo (in Godrsquos image) so i God is
ldquoKol Yacholrdquo (capable o all omnipo-
tent) we have no business placing artifi-
cial limits on ourselves (O course we are
ldquobrsquotzelemrdquo in the image of and not actu-
ally God but while we are limited most o
us both individually and institutionally
inflate these limits and then retract them
to the point that we become ineffectual)
Ultimately we will never ldquoabsolutely
knowrdquo why we were created or even why
the universe was created but our orah
does inorm us that relative to ldquoolamrdquo
the universe our job is to ldquopartnerrdquo with
the Creator to bring Creation to its ull-
est All mankind is mandated to be kind
to all living creatures to seek justice and
to live morally mdash these are the seven
Noahide mitzvot which bring one to the
threshold o humanness and civilization
As Jews wersquore also given the unique ldquotoolrdquo
o orah which contains the additional
606 mitzvot completing the 613 which
wersquore taught perorm the essential spiri-
tual unctions (beyond merely ldquocausing
no harmrdquo) that ully develop our world
and ourselves
Te mandate o what has come to be
called ldquosocial justicerdquo is just as incum-
bent on the entire Jewish people as is our
engagement with orah and mitzvot and
while each o us must specialize none o
us can opt out o any o it Contempo-
rarily you rarely see a serious mature
emphasis on mitzvah observance (which
includes studying the mitzvot and their
underlying logic and not merely blind
compliance or blind opposition) in pro-
gressive Jewish communities and institu-
tions
Likewise while many Orthodox com-
munities committed to traditional orah
study and mitzvah observance commend-
ably look out or their constit-
uencies they rarely leave their
own neighborhoods to join thelarger Jewish community in
social issues
Tere is little i any daylight
between the concepts o ldquoolam
habaMashiachrdquo and ldquoa just
worldrdquo theyrsquore different socio-
logical labels or the same ideal
Tis goal in terms o our human contri-
bution to it is beyond any single-pronged
approach We both need to create a just
society and also to bring an abstract and
intangible holiness ldquokedushahrdquo to the
world Additionally this highest level o
human evolution at least as it specifically
applies to the Jewish people requires that
each o us (or at least a critical mass o us)
reaches it individually
ldquoKol Yisrael arevim zeh lrsquozehrdquo (almud
Shavuot 39a) the ate o all Jews is inter-
twined is embedded into the undamen-
tal structure o reality In other words
none o us gets there until we all get there
together mdash ldquoLeave no Jew behindrdquo as it
were
One o the greatest challenges acing
our people today is that those o us who
ocus on orah and mitzvot too ofen dis-
miss Jews whose ocus is ldquoa just societyrdquo
and those Jews dismiss the ones whose
main ocus is traditional ldquoorah and mitz-
votrdquo observance Additionally we cannot
(and never have been able to) dismiss or
take or granted the survival o Israel and
o the Jewish People (which are identi-
cal) Tose who ocus on the political mil-
itary and diplomatic approaches to this
cannot ignore the other two priorities and
those ocusing on halachic or social issues
cannot turn away rom Israel especially
when she is under attack While each o
us will migrate to our strength we need
to incorporate the other considerations as
well into our efforts
Te genius o Judaism is that it reveals
reality as infinitely dimensional and it
gives us tools to work with all this beauti-
ul complexity
almud rather than merely generating
Te Rules (halachah) or relating olk-cul-
ture (aggadatah) trains us in techniques
to experience analyze and process both
empirically and intuitively directly and
by inerence associatively individually
collectively as well as in other parame-
ters all at the same time As we refine our
individual practice and experience o our
Jewish tradition we both see the world as
increasingly rich and ourselves as increas-
ingly capable
The governor was an anti-Semite
RUSSELL LIDMAN Special to JTNewsGovernor John R Rogers
enjoys a prominent place
in this state Schools arenamed afer him in Seattle
Spokane Olympia and else-
where around the state His
statue is located in Sylvester
Park in downtown Olym-
pia in ront o the Office o
the Superintendent o Public
Instruction building
Governor John R Rogers
was a noted Washington
State populist He was the
statersquos third governor serv-
ing rom 1897 through his
death in 1901 Carved in his
statue in Olympiarsquos Sylvester Park is this
quote ldquoI would make it impossible or the
covetous and avaricious to utterly impov-
erish the poor Te rich can take care o
themselvesrdquo His legacy is the ldquoBareoot
School Boy Actrdquo Tis was the basis o the
statersquos unding o public education reliev-
ing localities o a burden many could not
support Its aim was to guarantee unding
or an adequate education or children in
even the statersquos poorest areas o this day
this act is cited by advocates when they
express concern about the statersquos declin-
ing level o unding o public education
Te populists anticipated the ldquoOccupyrdquo
movement by over a century with their
ocus on the impacts on the typical Amer-
ican armer and worker o Wall Street
and o other domestic and oreign ldquorichrdquo
people
John R Rogers ocused his attention on
a particular group that in his view brought
about the first US great depression o the
1890s Jews
Here was the cause o the economic
distress in his 1892 book ldquoTe Irrepress-
ible Conflictrdquo
ldquoAs I write a daily paper o today lies
on the desk At the head o one the col-
umns I see a big lsquoscare headrsquo which reads
in startling letters MORE GOLD MAY
GO Tus the people who deal in money
are warned rom Europe that the money
market is to be made closer and tighter
Gold is shipped to Europe and the ability
o our people to buy and sell or exchange
labor and the products o labor is to be
still urther reduced by making all money
scarcer and harder to get he excuse
offered is lsquoEurope wants ou
Goldrsquo And because Europe mdash
or the Jewish Money Lords the world mdash can thus intere
in American trade and tak
rom the American labor
his opportunity to labor an
reduce the value o Amer
can property is reason enoug
or the establishment o a
American system not depen
dent upon the Jews o eith
London or New Yorkrdquo
Tis quote is mild com
pared to his expression o ho
tility elsewhere in this sam
volume
ldquoAt the present time the people
the United States conront a world-wid
and world-long evil o ar greater ma
nitude that chattel slavery was mdash the pr
vate monopoly o moneyhellip [I]ts slee
and prosperous agents stand high in eve

the highest seats in our synagogues T
vague yet potent orce lsquogood societyrsquo
controlled by it legislation has listene
painully or its lightest whisper the ba
the bench and pulpit have becomehellipme
minions registering Mammonrsquos decree
Does John R Rogers deserve a prom
inent place in Olympiarsquos Sylvester Par
Does his revolting anti-Semitism o ov
120 years ago negate the importance
his legislative accomplishment Sure
he deserves some acknowledgment o
his legislative achievements which hav
had a significant impact on state un
ing o public education However Gove
nor Rogersrsquo anti-Semitism in my view h
been too long overlooked
Look at the Rogers biography on Wik
pedia as an example Tere is no mentio
o him as an anti-Semite Go back to th
first biography o the statersquos governor
ldquoGovernors o Washington erritori
and Staterdquo written by University o Wash
ington proessor Edmond Meany in 191
and no mention o Rogersrsquos anti-Semitis
appears there
What to do about the essentially una
knowledged anti-Semitism o one o th
seeming heroes o our statersquos early year
I have been mulling this over or a coup

Port protesters block nothing but traffic
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews CorrespondentChanting ldquoLong live Palestinerdquo and
ldquoFree Free Palestinerdquo underscored by a
mobile sound system playing a booming
pro-Palestinian political mixtape nearly
150 marchers came to erminal 18 at the
Spokane Street Fishing Area in Seattle onAugust 25 to stop longshoremen rom
reporting or their shifs and unloading
the ZIM Chicago an international Israeli
vessel that had been delay ed but not
thwarted rom delivering its cargo to the
Port o Oakland in Caliornia the previ-
ous week
ldquoTe ports the police the city the
mayor and the governorrsquos oice mdash
nobody supported the actionrdquo Andy
David Israelrsquos consul general or the
Pacific Northwest in San Francisco told
JNews ldquoTey are hurting a lot o Ameri-
cans and merchantsrdquo
According to David two ships arrived
on the day o the ldquoBlock the Boatrdquo protest
in Oakland One was unloaded However
the Israeli ship wasnrsquot until day our o the
delay and there was damage to urniture
coffee chemicals and other cargo he said
He lays the blame squarely at the eet
o that cityrsquos local International Longshore
and Warehouse Union
ldquoTe ILWU was cooperating with the
protesters and therersquos enough proo o
thatrdquo David said ldquoTe local branch issued
a statement saying it was not sae or the
workers to go past the line Tey were
offered to be bused in but they reused
When they were unloading they took
lunch breaks and didnrsquot come backrdquo
David said the eamsterrsquos Union
issued its own press release condemning
the protest
Local and national leaders ear that
uture disruption at the Port would result
in job losses and devastation or small
businesses already experiencing financial
hardship
ldquo I t rsquo s a
c o w a r d l y
tacticrdquo said
David ldquoand
it hurt mer-
c h a n t s e x p o r t e r s
truck drivers
gas stat ion
owners and
w a r e h o u s e
workersrdquo
Protesters
tried to block
the Chicago
when it arrived
at the Port o acoma on Aug 23 but
workers bypassed the crowd and unloaded
it rom another location surprising the
protesters
In Seattle on Aug 25 Block the Boat
only succeeded in blocking the public
roadway adjacent to the terminal imped-
ing cargo-filled trucks and mothers with
their kids rom driving through
Protesters also blocked the three vehi-
cle entrances to the dock restrained by a
ormidable and mobile Seattle police pres-
ence that ollowed the moving crowd on
bikes in cars and in SUVs
ldquoWorkers reported or work and all o
the cargo that was going to be handled was
handledrdquo Peter McGraw the support and
real estate supervisor or the Port o Seat-
tle told JNews ldquoTey arrived and lef on
schedulerdquo
McGraw said that port police were not
involved in this action and that no Port o
Seattle property was trespassed
ldquoIn cases like this we work with our
partner law enorcement agencies and
that includes the Seattle Police Depart-
mentrdquo he said
Still organizers claimed victory
ldquoOur goal is to prevent business as
usualrdquo Nada Elia one o the organizers o
Block the Boat told JNews Elia said the
crowd was a coalition o pro-Palestinian
groups including Jewish Voice or Peace
and national boycott divest and sanction
supporters in Seattle ldquoWe want to prevent
the workers rom coming to their shif
We are in solidarity with Gaza because it
is under an illegal blockade and cannot use
its portsrdquo
Elia said she had hoped to galvanize a
showing o 300 activists mdash the number she
said the group tallied in acoma two days
beore but a Block the Boat press release
reported the number to be closer to 150
Ed Mast another protest organizer and
an activist in the Seattle Mideast Aware-
ness Campaign the organization respon-
sible or placing ads on billboards and
Metro buses that call or the US to pull its
aid to Israel kept the protesters moving
and motivated as they aced down police
along their path and at their destinations
ldquoAny delay works because itrsquos about
sending the messagerdquo said Mast who also
said he believed the action by the crowd
accomplished its goals
Craig and Cindy Corrie o Olympia
the parents o Rachel Corrie who died in a
2003 protest in Gaza came to Seattle
support Block the Boat
Corrie said their pro-Palestinian mov
ment would like to enlist more suppo
rom the unions
ldquoI think there needs to be an expense
Israelrdquo he said ldquoJust like in South Aric
this has gone too ar Te US and Isra
are becoming more isolatedrdquo
One protester was arrested and w
bailed out later that evening
Jonathan Sword 39 o Seattle said h
rejects the use o anti-Semitic and ant
police overtones oten ound in the
kinds o protests but agrees with the
political aims
ldquoItrsquos complicated but I donrsquot thin
Israel is going to do this much longer
said Sword ldquoIt canrsquot go on like thisrdquo
hough blatantly anti-Semitic sign
had been spotted at protests at Westlak
Plaza in downtown Seattle througho
the summer the Block the Boat websi
stated explicitly that no such signs wou
be tolerated at these protests and non
appeared

Tis all the Seattle Hebrew Academy
welcomes Rabbi Daniel Loew to its ac-
ulty as principal a new position created
to bridge the schoolrsquos Judaic and general
studies
Loew comes to the Modern Ortho-dox dual-curriculum early childhood-8th
grade day school rom the Hebrew High
School o New England where he had been
head o school since 2005
Loewrsquos appointment ollows SHArsquos new
strategic plan which seeks to achieve aca-
demic excellence optimize enrollment
create a more sustainable financial model
and to expand the schoolrsquos role in the
Modern Orthodox community
ldquoWe are very determined to be the
epicenter o Modern Orthodoxyrdquo SHA
head o school Rivy Poupko Kletenik told
JNews ldquoWe want to see ourselves having
a role in the community at largerdquo
One aspect o achieving this goal is to
better bridge ldquoorah ursquomadahrdquo or Jewish
studies and general studies
ldquoTe more that we can do to bring the
two departments closer together the more
learning will happen in the classroomrdquo
Kletenik said ldquoWhat has been troubling
me or several years is the separation o
departments In the morning they learn
about Greeks mdash how great the Greeks are
In the afernoon they learn about Hanuk-
kah and how horrible the Greeks are Well
which one is itrdquo
Students end up compartmentalizing
their brains the same way their days are
compartmentalized Kletenik said
ldquoWe donrsquot want that or our kidsrdquo she
continued ldquoWe need a synthesized sel
We need someone whose two parts o their
brain are talking to each otherrdquo
As principal Loew will be the ldquocentral
addressrdquo or all teachers in the K-8 pro-
gram
ldquoAs a Modern Orthodox school the
orah inorms our lives and aithulnessto our tradition is absolutely paramountrdquo
said Loew ldquoAt the same time that leaves
so much opportunity and room or learn-
ing other disciplinesrdquo
ldquoTis is big newsrdquo said Kletenik ldquoI
donrsquot know o other schools that have this
structurerdquo
Jewish day schools across the country
struggle with the financial burden placed
on amilies retaining teachers who could
earn more in the public school system
and keeping educational standards top-
notch SHArsquos strategic plan seems to be
tackling this triecta o issues by improving
the financial model educational approach
and community relationships
ldquoPeople will recognize the value o this
education and continue to invest in itrdquo said
Kletenik
Raising the quality o the education at
his previous institution is something Loew
eels proud o
ldquoTe aculty in the classrooms [is] the
ront linerdquo said Loew ldquoIrsquove been really
pleased to work with the aculty at SHA
Tey seem really passionate and dedicated
and proessional Tatrsquos really where the
success o the school lies o empower the
aculty to do what they do bestrdquo
Loew and his wie Chanie moved here
rom Hartord Conn with their five chil-
dren mdash our boys in 9th grade and under
and a 3-year-old girl Feeling it was time
or a change Loew says they were open
to anything when the job with SHA came
around He said theyrsquove been warmly wel-
comed into the community and eel privi-
leged to be here
ldquoTings just sort o ell into place in
terms o what I was looking or and wh

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo
said Pinkseld ldquoWe want Seattle to become
a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo
Te ambitious goals laid out by Pinks-
eld made her the obvious choice to fill
the executive director position in Seattle
according to Carlyn Steiner president o
the regional AJC board Steiner said she
was motivated to extend an offer to Pinks-
eld during her initial interview
ldquoTe AJC board wanted to distance our-
selves rom the Jewish Film Festival and get
back to our mission o advocacy or Israeland Jews around the worldrdquo Steiner said
ldquoLila is the right person to respond to the
shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served
the leadership management director AIPAC in Houston and Seattle She w
responsible or educating the commun
ties about the lobbying process and how
impacts the US-Israel relationship
In the three years between her tw
assignments or AIPAC the NYU gradua
lived on a kibbutz in Northern Israel whe
she assisted the resource developmen
department at Kinneret College to intr
duce itsel to the English speaking world
Pinkseldrsquos development experien
began at the Hillel at ulane University

participated in the first birthright trip
Israel in 2000 which inspired her to ea

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used

According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door

After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of
Temple Beth Hatfiloh in Olympia

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

Local prof tackles the shifting sands of the Middle East
JOEL MAGALNICK Editor JTNewsInterested in knowing more about
why therersquos a war against Hamas in Gaza
Where ISIS came rom and how it came
about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer
link on various websites but what yoursquoll
learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes

Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

THE RABBIrsquoS TURN
OPINION
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5 2014 n WWWJEWISHSOUNDORG n JTNews
5
5775 minus one No limits
RABBI HARRY ZEITLIN Congregation Beth HarsquoAriYou donrsquot need a rabbi to
let you know which way the
wind blows mdash the world is incrisis Massacres in Syria and
Iraq and Nigeria and Mali
regional wars between Russia
and Ukraine renewed race
riots in the United States
much o the world economy
stuck in the doldrums and a
collapsing EU And Israelrsquos almost con-
stant battle or survival against terrorists
this time calling themselves Hamas
With so many urgent crises this is no
time to don blinders and willully reuse
to see our challenges our abilities and
our duties
God created an astonishingly com-
plex world as well as astonishingly com-
plex and capable creatures to partner with
Him Human beings are created ldquoBrsquotzelem
Elohimrdquo (in Godrsquos image) so i God is
ldquoKol Yacholrdquo (capable o all omnipo-
tent) we have no business placing artifi-
cial limits on ourselves (O course we are
ldquobrsquotzelemrdquo in the image of and not actu-
ally God but while we are limited most o
us both individually and institutionally
inflate these limits and then retract them
to the point that we become ineffectual)
Ultimately we will never ldquoabsolutely
knowrdquo why we were created or even why
the universe was created but our orah
does inorm us that relative to ldquoolamrdquo
the universe our job is to ldquopartnerrdquo with
the Creator to bring Creation to its ull-
est All mankind is mandated to be kind
to all living creatures to seek justice and
to live morally mdash these are the seven
Noahide mitzvot which bring one to the
threshold o humanness and civilization
As Jews wersquore also given the unique ldquotoolrdquo
o orah which contains the additional
606 mitzvot completing the 613 which
wersquore taught perorm the essential spiri-
tual unctions (beyond merely ldquocausing
no harmrdquo) that ully develop our world
and ourselves
Te mandate o what has come to be
called ldquosocial justicerdquo is just as incum-
bent on the entire Jewish people as is our
engagement with orah and mitzvot and
while each o us must specialize none o
us can opt out o any o it Contempo-
rarily you rarely see a serious mature
emphasis on mitzvah observance (which
includes studying the mitzvot and their
underlying logic and not merely blind
compliance or blind opposition) in pro-
gressive Jewish communities and institu-
tions
Likewise while many Orthodox com-
munities committed to traditional orah
study and mitzvah observance commend-
ably look out or their constit-
uencies they rarely leave their
own neighborhoods to join thelarger Jewish community in
social issues
Tere is little i any daylight
between the concepts o ldquoolam
habaMashiachrdquo and ldquoa just
worldrdquo theyrsquore different socio-
logical labels or the same ideal
Tis goal in terms o our human contri-
bution to it is beyond any single-pronged
approach We both need to create a just
society and also to bring an abstract and
intangible holiness ldquokedushahrdquo to the
world Additionally this highest level o
human evolution at least as it specifically
applies to the Jewish people requires that
each o us (or at least a critical mass o us)
reaches it individually
ldquoKol Yisrael arevim zeh lrsquozehrdquo (almud
Shavuot 39a) the ate o all Jews is inter-
twined is embedded into the undamen-
tal structure o reality In other words
none o us gets there until we all get there
together mdash ldquoLeave no Jew behindrdquo as it
were
One o the greatest challenges acing
our people today is that those o us who
ocus on orah and mitzvot too ofen dis-
miss Jews whose ocus is ldquoa just societyrdquo
and those Jews dismiss the ones whose
main ocus is traditional ldquoorah and mitz-
votrdquo observance Additionally we cannot
(and never have been able to) dismiss or
take or granted the survival o Israel and
o the Jewish People (which are identi-
cal) Tose who ocus on the political mil-
itary and diplomatic approaches to this
cannot ignore the other two priorities and
those ocusing on halachic or social issues
cannot turn away rom Israel especially
when she is under attack While each o
us will migrate to our strength we need
to incorporate the other considerations as
well into our efforts
Te genius o Judaism is that it reveals
reality as infinitely dimensional and it
gives us tools to work with all this beauti-
ul complexity
almud rather than merely generating
Te Rules (halachah) or relating olk-cul-
ture (aggadatah) trains us in techniques
to experience analyze and process both
empirically and intuitively directly and
by inerence associatively individually
collectively as well as in other parame-
ters all at the same time As we refine our
individual practice and experience o our
Jewish tradition we both see the world as
increasingly rich and ourselves as increas-
ingly capable
The governor was an anti-Semite
RUSSELL LIDMAN Special to JTNewsGovernor John R Rogers
enjoys a prominent place
in this state Schools arenamed afer him in Seattle
Spokane Olympia and else-
where around the state His
statue is located in Sylvester
Park in downtown Olym-
pia in ront o the Office o
the Superintendent o Public
Instruction building
Governor John R Rogers
was a noted Washington
State populist He was the
statersquos third governor serv-
ing rom 1897 through his
death in 1901 Carved in his
statue in Olympiarsquos Sylvester Park is this
quote ldquoI would make it impossible or the
covetous and avaricious to utterly impov-
erish the poor Te rich can take care o
themselvesrdquo His legacy is the ldquoBareoot
School Boy Actrdquo Tis was the basis o the
statersquos unding o public education reliev-
ing localities o a burden many could not
support Its aim was to guarantee unding
or an adequate education or children in
even the statersquos poorest areas o this day
this act is cited by advocates when they
express concern about the statersquos declin-
ing level o unding o public education
Te populists anticipated the ldquoOccupyrdquo
movement by over a century with their
ocus on the impacts on the typical Amer-
ican armer and worker o Wall Street
and o other domestic and oreign ldquorichrdquo
people
John R Rogers ocused his attention on
a particular group that in his view brought
about the first US great depression o the
1890s Jews
Here was the cause o the economic
distress in his 1892 book ldquoTe Irrepress-
ible Conflictrdquo
ldquoAs I write a daily paper o today lies
on the desk At the head o one the col-
umns I see a big lsquoscare headrsquo which reads
in startling letters MORE GOLD MAY
GO Tus the people who deal in money
are warned rom Europe that the money
market is to be made closer and tighter
Gold is shipped to Europe and the ability
o our people to buy and sell or exchange
labor and the products o labor is to be
still urther reduced by making all money
scarcer and harder to get he excuse
offered is lsquoEurope wants ou
Goldrsquo And because Europe mdash
or the Jewish Money Lords the world mdash can thus intere
in American trade and tak
rom the American labor
his opportunity to labor an
reduce the value o Amer
can property is reason enoug
or the establishment o a
American system not depen
dent upon the Jews o eith
London or New Yorkrdquo
Tis quote is mild com
pared to his expression o ho
tility elsewhere in this sam
volume
ldquoAt the present time the people
the United States conront a world-wid
and world-long evil o ar greater ma
nitude that chattel slavery was mdash the pr
vate monopoly o moneyhellip [I]ts slee
and prosperous agents stand high in eve
community occupying mdash as o yore mdash
the highest seats in our synagogues T
vague yet potent orce lsquogood societyrsquo
controlled by it legislation has listene
painully or its lightest whisper the ba
the bench and pulpit have becomehellipme
minions registering Mammonrsquos decree
Does John R Rogers deserve a prom
inent place in Olympiarsquos Sylvester Par
Does his revolting anti-Semitism o ov
120 years ago negate the importance
his legislative accomplishment Sure
he deserves some acknowledgment o
his legislative achievements which hav
had a significant impact on state un
ing o public education However Gove
nor Rogersrsquo anti-Semitism in my view h
been too long overlooked
Look at the Rogers biography on Wik
pedia as an example Tere is no mentio
o him as an anti-Semite Go back to th
first biography o the statersquos governor
ldquoGovernors o Washington erritori
and Staterdquo written by University o Wash
ington proessor Edmond Meany in 191
and no mention o Rogersrsquos anti-Semitis
appears there
What to do about the essentially una
knowledged anti-Semitism o one o th
seeming heroes o our statersquos early year
I have been mulling this over or a coup

Port protesters block nothing but traffic
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews CorrespondentChanting ldquoLong live Palestinerdquo and
ldquoFree Free Palestinerdquo underscored by a
mobile sound system playing a booming
pro-Palestinian political mixtape nearly
150 marchers came to erminal 18 at the
Spokane Street Fishing Area in Seattle onAugust 25 to stop longshoremen rom
reporting or their shifs and unloading
the ZIM Chicago an international Israeli
vessel that had been delay ed but not
thwarted rom delivering its cargo to the
Port o Oakland in Caliornia the previ-
ous week
ldquoTe ports the police the city the
mayor and the governorrsquos oice mdash
nobody supported the actionrdquo Andy
David Israelrsquos consul general or the
Pacific Northwest in San Francisco told
JNews ldquoTey are hurting a lot o Ameri-
cans and merchantsrdquo
According to David two ships arrived
on the day o the ldquoBlock the Boatrdquo protest
in Oakland One was unloaded However
the Israeli ship wasnrsquot until day our o the
delay and there was damage to urniture
coffee chemicals and other cargo he said
He lays the blame squarely at the eet
o that cityrsquos local International Longshore
and Warehouse Union
ldquoTe ILWU was cooperating with the
protesters and therersquos enough proo o
thatrdquo David said ldquoTe local branch issued
a statement saying it was not sae or the
workers to go past the line Tey were
offered to be bused in but they reused
When they were unloading they took
lunch breaks and didnrsquot come backrdquo
David said the eamsterrsquos Union
issued its own press release condemning
the protest
Local and national leaders ear that
uture disruption at the Port would result
in job losses and devastation or small
businesses already experiencing financial
hardship
ldquo I t rsquo s a
c o w a r d l y
tacticrdquo said
David ldquoand
it hurt mer-
c h a n t s e x p o r t e r s
truck drivers
gas stat ion
owners and
w a r e h o u s e
workersrdquo
Protesters
tried to block
the Chicago
when it arrived
at the Port o acoma on Aug 23 but
workers bypassed the crowd and unloaded
it rom another location surprising the
protesters
In Seattle on Aug 25 Block the Boat
only succeeded in blocking the public
roadway adjacent to the terminal imped-
ing cargo-filled trucks and mothers with
their kids rom driving through
Protesters also blocked the three vehi-
cle entrances to the dock restrained by a
ormidable and mobile Seattle police pres-
ence that ollowed the moving crowd on
bikes in cars and in SUVs
ldquoWorkers reported or work and all o
the cargo that was going to be handled was
handledrdquo Peter McGraw the support and
real estate supervisor or the Port o Seat-
tle told JNews ldquoTey arrived and lef on
schedulerdquo
McGraw said that port police were not
involved in this action and that no Port o
Seattle property was trespassed
ldquoIn cases like this we work with our
partner law enorcement agencies and
that includes the Seattle Police Depart-
mentrdquo he said
Still organizers claimed victory
ldquoOur goal is to prevent business as
usualrdquo Nada Elia one o the organizers o
Block the Boat told JNews Elia said the
crowd was a coalition o pro-Palestinian
groups including Jewish Voice or Peace
and national boycott divest and sanction
supporters in Seattle ldquoWe want to prevent
the workers rom coming to their shif
We are in solidarity with Gaza because it
is under an illegal blockade and cannot use
its portsrdquo
Elia said she had hoped to galvanize a
showing o 300 activists mdash the number she
said the group tallied in acoma two days
beore but a Block the Boat press release
reported the number to be closer to 150
Ed Mast another protest organizer and
an activist in the Seattle Mideast Aware-
ness Campaign the organization respon-
sible or placing ads on billboards and
Metro buses that call or the US to pull its
aid to Israel kept the protesters moving
and motivated as they aced down police
along their path and at their destinations
ldquoAny delay works because itrsquos about
sending the messagerdquo said Mast who also
said he believed the action by the crowd
accomplished its goals
Craig and Cindy Corrie o Olympia
the parents o Rachel Corrie who died in a
2003 protest in Gaza came to Seattle
support Block the Boat
Corrie said their pro-Palestinian mov
ment would like to enlist more suppo
rom the unions
ldquoI think there needs to be an expense
Israelrdquo he said ldquoJust like in South Aric
this has gone too ar Te US and Isra
are becoming more isolatedrdquo
One protester was arrested and w
bailed out later that evening
Jonathan Sword 39 o Seattle said h
rejects the use o anti-Semitic and ant
police overtones oten ound in the
kinds o protests but agrees with the
political aims
ldquoItrsquos complicated but I donrsquot thin
Israel is going to do this much longer
said Sword ldquoIt canrsquot go on like thisrdquo
hough blatantly anti-Semitic sign
had been spotted at protests at Westlak
Plaza in downtown Seattle througho
the summer the Block the Boat websi
stated explicitly that no such signs wou
be tolerated at these protests and non
appeared

Tis all the Seattle Hebrew Academy
welcomes Rabbi Daniel Loew to its ac-
ulty as principal a new position created
to bridge the schoolrsquos Judaic and general
studies
Loew comes to the Modern Ortho-dox dual-curriculum early childhood-8th
grade day school rom the Hebrew High
School o New England where he had been
head o school since 2005
Loewrsquos appointment ollows SHArsquos new
strategic plan which seeks to achieve aca-
demic excellence optimize enrollment
create a more sustainable financial model
and to expand the schoolrsquos role in the
Modern Orthodox community
ldquoWe are very determined to be the
epicenter o Modern Orthodoxyrdquo SHA
head o school Rivy Poupko Kletenik told
JNews ldquoWe want to see ourselves having
a role in the community at largerdquo
One aspect o achieving this goal is to
better bridge ldquoorah ursquomadahrdquo or Jewish
studies and general studies
ldquoTe more that we can do to bring the
two departments closer together the more
learning will happen in the classroomrdquo
Kletenik said ldquoWhat has been troubling
me or several years is the separation o
departments In the morning they learn
about Greeks mdash how great the Greeks are
In the afernoon they learn about Hanuk-
kah and how horrible the Greeks are Well
which one is itrdquo
Students end up compartmentalizing
their brains the same way their days are
compartmentalized Kletenik said
ldquoWe donrsquot want that or our kidsrdquo she
continued ldquoWe need a synthesized sel
We need someone whose two parts o their
brain are talking to each otherrdquo
As principal Loew will be the ldquocentral
addressrdquo or all teachers in the K-8 pro-
gram
ldquoAs a Modern Orthodox school the
orah inorms our lives and aithulnessto our tradition is absolutely paramountrdquo
said Loew ldquoAt the same time that leaves
so much opportunity and room or learn-
ing other disciplinesrdquo
ldquoTis is big newsrdquo said Kletenik ldquoI
donrsquot know o other schools that have this
structurerdquo
Jewish day schools across the country
struggle with the financial burden placed
on amilies retaining teachers who could
earn more in the public school system
and keeping educational standards top-
notch SHArsquos strategic plan seems to be
tackling this triecta o issues by improving
the financial model educational approach
and community relationships
ldquoPeople will recognize the value o this
education and continue to invest in itrdquo said
Kletenik
Raising the quality o the education at
his previous institution is something Loew
eels proud o
ldquoTe aculty in the classrooms [is] the
ront linerdquo said Loew ldquoIrsquove been really
pleased to work with the aculty at SHA
Tey seem really passionate and dedicated
and proessional Tatrsquos really where the
success o the school lies o empower the
aculty to do what they do bestrdquo
Loew and his wie Chanie moved here
rom Hartord Conn with their five chil-
dren mdash our boys in 9th grade and under
and a 3-year-old girl Feeling it was time
or a change Loew says they were open
to anything when the job with SHA came
around He said theyrsquove been warmly wel-
comed into the community and eel privi-
leged to be here
ldquoTings just sort o ell into place in
terms o what I was looking or and wh
SHA was looking orrdquo he said ldquoTis ju
seemed to be the place where God wante
usrdquo
Thinking strategically SHA hires principal to move school forward

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo

a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo

eld made her the obvious choice to fill

selves rom the Jewish Film Festival and get

ldquoLila is the right person to respond to the
shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

ter users ldquocrashrdquo when stopping it and wa
to eel good again eventually wanting mo
due to damaged dopamine neurons Eve
small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

We had previously been invited to join with them and a group of Holocausurvivors for lunch and based on that lovely occasion we eagerly accepted th
invitationWe were surprised to find more than 10 Summit senior couples joined by a
equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

THE RABBIrsquoS TURN
OPINION
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5 2014 n WWWJEWISHSOUNDORG n JTNews
5
5775 minus one No limits
RABBI HARRY ZEITLIN Congregation Beth HarsquoAriYou donrsquot need a rabbi to
let you know which way the
wind blows mdash the world is incrisis Massacres in Syria and
Iraq and Nigeria and Mali
regional wars between Russia
and Ukraine renewed race
riots in the United States
much o the world economy
stuck in the doldrums and a
collapsing EU And Israelrsquos almost con-
stant battle or survival against terrorists
this time calling themselves Hamas
With so many urgent crises this is no
time to don blinders and willully reuse
to see our challenges our abilities and
our duties
God created an astonishingly com-
plex world as well as astonishingly com-
plex and capable creatures to partner with
Him Human beings are created ldquoBrsquotzelem
Elohimrdquo (in Godrsquos image) so i God is
ldquoKol Yacholrdquo (capable o all omnipo-
tent) we have no business placing artifi-
cial limits on ourselves (O course we are
ldquobrsquotzelemrdquo in the image of and not actu-
ally God but while we are limited most o
us both individually and institutionally
inflate these limits and then retract them
to the point that we become ineffectual)
Ultimately we will never ldquoabsolutely
knowrdquo why we were created or even why
the universe was created but our orah
does inorm us that relative to ldquoolamrdquo
the universe our job is to ldquopartnerrdquo with
the Creator to bring Creation to its ull-
est All mankind is mandated to be kind
to all living creatures to seek justice and
to live morally mdash these are the seven
Noahide mitzvot which bring one to the
threshold o humanness and civilization
As Jews wersquore also given the unique ldquotoolrdquo
o orah which contains the additional
606 mitzvot completing the 613 which
wersquore taught perorm the essential spiri-
tual unctions (beyond merely ldquocausing
no harmrdquo) that ully develop our world
and ourselves
Te mandate o what has come to be
called ldquosocial justicerdquo is just as incum-
bent on the entire Jewish people as is our
engagement with orah and mitzvot and
while each o us must specialize none o
us can opt out o any o it Contempo-
rarily you rarely see a serious mature
emphasis on mitzvah observance (which
includes studying the mitzvot and their
underlying logic and not merely blind
compliance or blind opposition) in pro-
gressive Jewish communities and institu-
tions
Likewise while many Orthodox com-
munities committed to traditional orah
study and mitzvah observance commend-
ably look out or their constit-
uencies they rarely leave their
own neighborhoods to join thelarger Jewish community in
social issues
Tere is little i any daylight
between the concepts o ldquoolam
habaMashiachrdquo and ldquoa just
worldrdquo theyrsquore different socio-
logical labels or the same ideal
Tis goal in terms o our human contri-
bution to it is beyond any single-pronged
approach We both need to create a just
society and also to bring an abstract and
intangible holiness ldquokedushahrdquo to the
world Additionally this highest level o
human evolution at least as it specifically
applies to the Jewish people requires that
each o us (or at least a critical mass o us)
reaches it individually
ldquoKol Yisrael arevim zeh lrsquozehrdquo (almud
Shavuot 39a) the ate o all Jews is inter-
twined is embedded into the undamen-
tal structure o reality In other words
none o us gets there until we all get there
together mdash ldquoLeave no Jew behindrdquo as it
were
One o the greatest challenges acing
our people today is that those o us who
ocus on orah and mitzvot too ofen dis-
miss Jews whose ocus is ldquoa just societyrdquo
and those Jews dismiss the ones whose
main ocus is traditional ldquoorah and mitz-
votrdquo observance Additionally we cannot
(and never have been able to) dismiss or
take or granted the survival o Israel and
o the Jewish People (which are identi-
cal) Tose who ocus on the political mil-
itary and diplomatic approaches to this
cannot ignore the other two priorities and
those ocusing on halachic or social issues
cannot turn away rom Israel especially
when she is under attack While each o
us will migrate to our strength we need
to incorporate the other considerations as
well into our efforts
Te genius o Judaism is that it reveals
reality as infinitely dimensional and it
gives us tools to work with all this beauti-
ul complexity
almud rather than merely generating
Te Rules (halachah) or relating olk-cul-
ture (aggadatah) trains us in techniques
to experience analyze and process both
empirically and intuitively directly and
by inerence associatively individually
collectively as well as in other parame-

The governor was an anti-Semite
RUSSELL LIDMAN Special to JTNewsGovernor John R Rogers
enjoys a prominent place

Spokane Olympia and else-
where around the state His
statue is located in Sylvester
Park in downtown Olym-

Instruction building
Governor John R Rogers
was a noted Washington
State populist He was the
statersquos third governor serv-
ing rom 1897 through his
death in 1901 Carved in his
statue in Olympiarsquos Sylvester Park is this
quote ldquoI would make it impossible or the
covetous and avaricious to utterly impov-
erish the poor Te rich can take care o
themselvesrdquo His legacy is the ldquoBareoot
School Boy Actrdquo Tis was the basis o the
statersquos unding o public education reliev-
ing localities o a burden many could not
support Its aim was to guarantee unding
or an adequate education or children in
even the statersquos poorest areas o this day
this act is cited by advocates when they
express concern about the statersquos declin-
ing level o unding o public education
Te populists anticipated the ldquoOccupyrdquo
movement by over a century with their
ocus on the impacts on the typical Amer-
ican armer and worker o Wall Street
and o other domestic and oreign ldquorichrdquo
people
John R Rogers ocused his attention on
a particular group that in his view brought
about the first US great depression o the
1890s Jews
Here was the cause o the economic
distress in his 1892 book ldquoTe Irrepress-
ible Conflictrdquo
ldquoAs I write a daily paper o today lies
on the desk At the head o one the col-
umns I see a big lsquoscare headrsquo which reads
in startling letters MORE GOLD MAY
GO Tus the people who deal in money
are warned rom Europe that the money
market is to be made closer and tighter
Gold is shipped to Europe and the ability
o our people to buy and sell or exchange
labor and the products o labor is to be
still urther reduced by making all money
scarcer and harder to get he excuse
offered is lsquoEurope wants ou
Goldrsquo And because Europe mdash
or the Jewish Money Lords the world mdash can thus intere
in American trade and tak
rom the American labor
his opportunity to labor an
reduce the value o Amer
can property is reason enoug
or the establishment o a
American system not depen
dent upon the Jews o eith
London or New Yorkrdquo
Tis quote is mild com
pared to his expression o ho
tility elsewhere in this sam
volume
ldquoAt the present time the people
the United States conront a world-wid

nitude that chattel slavery was mdash the pr

Does his revolting anti-Semitism o ov

he deserves some acknowledgment o
his legislative achievements which hav

Look at the Rogers biography on Wik

Port protesters block nothing but traffic
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews CorrespondentChanting ldquoLong live Palestinerdquo and
ldquoFree Free Palestinerdquo underscored by a
mobile sound system playing a booming
pro-Palestinian political mixtape nearly
150 marchers came to erminal 18 at the
Spokane Street Fishing Area in Seattle onAugust 25 to stop longshoremen rom
reporting or their shifs and unloading
the ZIM Chicago an international Israeli
vessel that had been delay ed but not
thwarted rom delivering its cargo to the
Port o Oakland in Caliornia the previ-
ous week
ldquoTe ports the police the city the
mayor and the governorrsquos oice mdash
nobody supported the actionrdquo Andy
David Israelrsquos consul general or the
Pacific Northwest in San Francisco told
JNews ldquoTey are hurting a lot o Ameri-
cans and merchantsrdquo
According to David two ships arrived
on the day o the ldquoBlock the Boatrdquo protest
in Oakland One was unloaded However
the Israeli ship wasnrsquot until day our o the
delay and there was damage to urniture
coffee chemicals and other cargo he said
He lays the blame squarely at the eet
o that cityrsquos local International Longshore
and Warehouse Union
ldquoTe ILWU was cooperating with the
protesters and therersquos enough proo o
thatrdquo David said ldquoTe local branch issued
a statement saying it was not sae or the
workers to go past the line Tey were
offered to be bused in but they reused
When they were unloading they took
lunch breaks and didnrsquot come backrdquo
David said the eamsterrsquos Union
issued its own press release condemning
the protest
Local and national leaders ear that
uture disruption at the Port would result
in job losses and devastation or small
businesses already experiencing financial
hardship
ldquo I t rsquo s a
c o w a r d l y
tacticrdquo said
David ldquoand
it hurt mer-
c h a n t s e x p o r t e r s
truck drivers
gas stat ion
owners and
w a r e h o u s e
workersrdquo
Protesters
tried to block
the Chicago
when it arrived
at the Port o acoma on Aug 23 but
workers bypassed the crowd and unloaded
it rom another location surprising the
protesters
In Seattle on Aug 25 Block the Boat
only succeeded in blocking the public
roadway adjacent to the terminal imped-
ing cargo-filled trucks and mothers with
their kids rom driving through
Protesters also blocked the three vehi-
cle entrances to the dock restrained by a
ormidable and mobile Seattle police pres-
ence that ollowed the moving crowd on
bikes in cars and in SUVs
ldquoWorkers reported or work and all o
the cargo that was going to be handled was
handledrdquo Peter McGraw the support and
real estate supervisor or the Port o Seat-
tle told JNews ldquoTey arrived and lef on
schedulerdquo
McGraw said that port police were not
involved in this action and that no Port o
Seattle property was trespassed
ldquoIn cases like this we work with our
partner law enorcement agencies and
that includes the Seattle Police Depart-
mentrdquo he said
Still organizers claimed victory
ldquoOur goal is to prevent business as
usualrdquo Nada Elia one o the organizers o
Block the Boat told JNews Elia said the
crowd was a coalition o pro-Palestinian
groups including Jewish Voice or Peace
and national boycott divest and sanction
supporters in Seattle ldquoWe want to prevent
the workers rom coming to their shif
We are in solidarity with Gaza because it
is under an illegal blockade and cannot use
its portsrdquo
Elia said she had hoped to galvanize a
showing o 300 activists mdash the number she
said the group tallied in acoma two days
beore but a Block the Boat press release
reported the number to be closer to 150
Ed Mast another protest organizer and
an activist in the Seattle Mideast Aware-
ness Campaign the organization respon-
sible or placing ads on billboards and
Metro buses that call or the US to pull its
aid to Israel kept the protesters moving
and motivated as they aced down police
along their path and at their destinations
ldquoAny delay works because itrsquos about
sending the messagerdquo said Mast who also
said he believed the action by the crowd
accomplished its goals
Craig and Cindy Corrie o Olympia
the parents o Rachel Corrie who died in a
2003 protest in Gaza came to Seattle
support Block the Boat
Corrie said their pro-Palestinian mov
ment would like to enlist more suppo
rom the unions
ldquoI think there needs to be an expense
Israelrdquo he said ldquoJust like in South Aric
this has gone too ar Te US and Isra
are becoming more isolatedrdquo
One protester was arrested and w
bailed out later that evening
Jonathan Sword 39 o Seattle said h
rejects the use o anti-Semitic and ant
police overtones oten ound in the
kinds o protests but agrees with the
political aims
ldquoItrsquos complicated but I donrsquot thin
Israel is going to do this much longer
said Sword ldquoIt canrsquot go on like thisrdquo
hough blatantly anti-Semitic sign
had been spotted at protests at Westlak
Plaza in downtown Seattle througho
the summer the Block the Boat websi
stated explicitly that no such signs wou
be tolerated at these protests and non
appeared

Tis all the Seattle Hebrew Academy
welcomes Rabbi Daniel Loew to its ac-
ulty as principal a new position created
to bridge the schoolrsquos Judaic and general
studies
Loew comes to the Modern Ortho-dox dual-curriculum early childhood-8th
grade day school rom the Hebrew High
School o New England where he had been
head o school since 2005
Loewrsquos appointment ollows SHArsquos new
strategic plan which seeks to achieve aca-
demic excellence optimize enrollment
create a more sustainable financial model
and to expand the schoolrsquos role in the
Modern Orthodox community
ldquoWe are very determined to be the
epicenter o Modern Orthodoxyrdquo SHA
head o school Rivy Poupko Kletenik told
JNews ldquoWe want to see ourselves having
a role in the community at largerdquo
One aspect o achieving this goal is to
better bridge ldquoorah ursquomadahrdquo or Jewish
studies and general studies
ldquoTe more that we can do to bring the
two departments closer together the more
learning will happen in the classroomrdquo
Kletenik said ldquoWhat has been troubling
me or several years is the separation o
departments In the morning they learn
about Greeks mdash how great the Greeks are
In the afernoon they learn about Hanuk-
kah and how horrible the Greeks are Well
which one is itrdquo
Students end up compartmentalizing
their brains the same way their days are
compartmentalized Kletenik said
ldquoWe donrsquot want that or our kidsrdquo she
continued ldquoWe need a synthesized sel
We need someone whose two parts o their
brain are talking to each otherrdquo
As principal Loew will be the ldquocentral
addressrdquo or all teachers in the K-8 pro-
gram
ldquoAs a Modern Orthodox school the
orah inorms our lives and aithulnessto our tradition is absolutely paramountrdquo
said Loew ldquoAt the same time that leaves
so much opportunity and room or learn-
ing other disciplinesrdquo
ldquoTis is big newsrdquo said Kletenik ldquoI
donrsquot know o other schools that have this
structurerdquo
Jewish day schools across the country
struggle with the financial burden placed
on amilies retaining teachers who could
earn more in the public school system
and keeping educational standards top-
notch SHArsquos strategic plan seems to be
tackling this triecta o issues by improving
the financial model educational approach
and community relationships
ldquoPeople will recognize the value o this
education and continue to invest in itrdquo said
Kletenik
Raising the quality o the education at
his previous institution is something Loew
eels proud o
ldquoTe aculty in the classrooms [is] the
ront linerdquo said Loew ldquoIrsquove been really
pleased to work with the aculty at SHA
Tey seem really passionate and dedicated
and proessional Tatrsquos really where the
success o the school lies o empower the
aculty to do what they do bestrdquo
Loew and his wie Chanie moved here
rom Hartord Conn with their five chil-
dren mdash our boys in 9th grade and under
and a 3-year-old girl Feeling it was time
or a change Loew says they were open
to anything when the job with SHA came
around He said theyrsquove been warmly wel-
comed into the community and eel privi-
leged to be here
ldquoTings just sort o ell into place in
terms o what I was looking or and wh
SHA was looking orrdquo he said ldquoTis ju
seemed to be the place where God wante
usrdquo
Thinking strategically SHA hires principal to move school forward

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo
said Pinkseld ldquoWe want Seattle to become
a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo
Te ambitious goals laid out by Pinks-
eld made her the obvious choice to fill
the executive director position in Seattle
according to Carlyn Steiner president o
the regional AJC board Steiner said she
was motivated to extend an offer to Pinks-
eld during her initial interview
ldquoTe AJC board wanted to distance our-
selves rom the Jewish Film Festival and get
back to our mission o advocacy or Israeland Jews around the worldrdquo Steiner said
ldquoLila is the right person to respond to the
shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served
the leadership management director AIPAC in Houston and Seattle She w
responsible or educating the commun
ties about the lobbying process and how
impacts the US-Israel relationship
In the three years between her tw
assignments or AIPAC the NYU gradua
lived on a kibbutz in Northern Israel whe
she assisted the resource developmen
department at Kinneret College to intr
duce itsel to the English speaking world
Pinkseldrsquos development experien
began at the Hillel at ulane University
the afermath o Hurricane Katrina Sh
participated in the first birthright trip
Israel in 2000 which inspired her to ea
her undergraduate degree in Middle Eas
ern studies and a masterrsquos in history ro

Te idea came rom two ribemembers who have parents
living there
Rosie Coe the only emale rider that day
visited with her mother Perla Schneider
ldquoMom were you araid when I started
riding motorcyclesrdquo Coe asked her mother
ldquoI thought you were in good handsrdquo
Schneider responded reerring to Coersquos
fianceacute Bruce Lobree who got her into the
hobby

According to the JewishMotorcycle Alliance ldquohe

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

ter users ldquocrashrdquo when stopping it and wa
to eel good again eventually wanting mo
due to damaged dopamine neurons Eve
small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter
effects o treating children that young a
unknown
And a large 2014 study the Prema

approval o 20 new ADHD drugs beore th
drugs were marketed expressed pessimism

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

We had previously been invited to join with them and a group of Holocausurvivors for lunch and based on that lovely occasion we eagerly accepted th
invitationWe were surprised to find more than 10 Summit senior couples joined by a
equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

THE RABBIrsquoS TURN
OPINION
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5 2014 n WWWJEWISHSOUNDORG n JTNews
5
5775 minus one No limits
RABBI HARRY ZEITLIN Congregation Beth HarsquoAriYou donrsquot need a rabbi to
let you know which way the
wind blows mdash the world is incrisis Massacres in Syria and
Iraq and Nigeria and Mali
regional wars between Russia
and Ukraine renewed race
riots in the United States
much o the world economy
stuck in the doldrums and a
collapsing EU And Israelrsquos almost con-
stant battle or survival against terrorists
this time calling themselves Hamas
With so many urgent crises this is no
time to don blinders and willully reuse
to see our challenges our abilities and
our duties
God created an astonishingly com-
plex world as well as astonishingly com-
plex and capable creatures to partner with
Him Human beings are created ldquoBrsquotzelem
Elohimrdquo (in Godrsquos image) so i God is
ldquoKol Yacholrdquo (capable o all omnipo-
tent) we have no business placing artifi-
cial limits on ourselves (O course we are
ldquobrsquotzelemrdquo in the image of and not actu-
ally God but while we are limited most o
us both individually and institutionally
inflate these limits and then retract them
to the point that we become ineffectual)
Ultimately we will never ldquoabsolutely
knowrdquo why we were created or even why
the universe was created but our orah
does inorm us that relative to ldquoolamrdquo
the universe our job is to ldquopartnerrdquo with
the Creator to bring Creation to its ull-
est All mankind is mandated to be kind
to all living creatures to seek justice and
to live morally mdash these are the seven
Noahide mitzvot which bring one to the
threshold o humanness and civilization
As Jews wersquore also given the unique ldquotoolrdquo
o orah which contains the additional
606 mitzvot completing the 613 which
wersquore taught perorm the essential spiri-
tual unctions (beyond merely ldquocausing
no harmrdquo) that ully develop our world
and ourselves
Te mandate o what has come to be
called ldquosocial justicerdquo is just as incum-
bent on the entire Jewish people as is our
engagement with orah and mitzvot and
while each o us must specialize none o
us can opt out o any o it Contempo-
rarily you rarely see a serious mature
emphasis on mitzvah observance (which
includes studying the mitzvot and their
underlying logic and not merely blind
compliance or blind opposition) in pro-
gressive Jewish communities and institu-
tions
Likewise while many Orthodox com-
munities committed to traditional orah
study and mitzvah observance commend-
ably look out or their constit-
uencies they rarely leave their
own neighborhoods to join thelarger Jewish community in
social issues
Tere is little i any daylight
between the concepts o ldquoolam
habaMashiachrdquo and ldquoa just
worldrdquo theyrsquore different socio-
logical labels or the same ideal
Tis goal in terms o our human contri-
bution to it is beyond any single-pronged
approach We both need to create a just
society and also to bring an abstract and
intangible holiness ldquokedushahrdquo to the
world Additionally this highest level o
human evolution at least as it specifically
applies to the Jewish people requires that
each o us (or at least a critical mass o us)
reaches it individually
ldquoKol Yisrael arevim zeh lrsquozehrdquo (almud
Shavuot 39a) the ate o all Jews is inter-
twined is embedded into the undamen-
tal structure o reality In other words
none o us gets there until we all get there
together mdash ldquoLeave no Jew behindrdquo as it
were
One o the greatest challenges acing
our people today is that those o us who
ocus on orah and mitzvot too ofen dis-
miss Jews whose ocus is ldquoa just societyrdquo
and those Jews dismiss the ones whose
main ocus is traditional ldquoorah and mitz-
votrdquo observance Additionally we cannot
(and never have been able to) dismiss or
take or granted the survival o Israel and
o the Jewish People (which are identi-
cal) Tose who ocus on the political mil-
itary and diplomatic approaches to this
cannot ignore the other two priorities and
those ocusing on halachic or social issues
cannot turn away rom Israel especially
when she is under attack While each o
us will migrate to our strength we need
to incorporate the other considerations as
well into our efforts
Te genius o Judaism is that it reveals
reality as infinitely dimensional and it
gives us tools to work with all this beauti-
ul complexity
almud rather than merely generating
Te Rules (halachah) or relating olk-cul-
ture (aggadatah) trains us in techniques
to experience analyze and process both
empirically and intuitively directly and
by inerence associatively individually
collectively as well as in other parame-
ters all at the same time As we refine our
individual practice and experience o our
Jewish tradition we both see the world as
increasingly rich and ourselves as increas-
ingly capable
The governor was an anti-Semite
RUSSELL LIDMAN Special to JTNewsGovernor John R Rogers
enjoys a prominent place
in this state Schools arenamed afer him in Seattle
Spokane Olympia and else-
where around the state His
statue is located in Sylvester
Park in downtown Olym-
pia in ront o the Office o
the Superintendent o Public
Instruction building
Governor John R Rogers
was a noted Washington
State populist He was the
statersquos third governor serv-
ing rom 1897 through his
death in 1901 Carved in his
statue in Olympiarsquos Sylvester Park is this
quote ldquoI would make it impossible or the
covetous and avaricious to utterly impov-
erish the poor Te rich can take care o
themselvesrdquo His legacy is the ldquoBareoot
School Boy Actrdquo Tis was the basis o the
statersquos unding o public education reliev-
ing localities o a burden many could not
support Its aim was to guarantee unding
or an adequate education or children in
even the statersquos poorest areas o this day
this act is cited by advocates when they
express concern about the statersquos declin-
ing level o unding o public education
Te populists anticipated the ldquoOccupyrdquo
movement by over a century with their
ocus on the impacts on the typical Amer-
ican armer and worker o Wall Street
and o other domestic and oreign ldquorichrdquo
people
John R Rogers ocused his attention on
a particular group that in his view brought
about the first US great depression o the
1890s Jews
Here was the cause o the economic
distress in his 1892 book ldquoTe Irrepress-
ible Conflictrdquo
ldquoAs I write a daily paper o today lies
on the desk At the head o one the col-
umns I see a big lsquoscare headrsquo which reads
in startling letters MORE GOLD MAY
GO Tus the people who deal in money
are warned rom Europe that the money
market is to be made closer and tighter
Gold is shipped to Europe and the ability
o our people to buy and sell or exchange
labor and the products o labor is to be
still urther reduced by making all money
scarcer and harder to get he excuse
offered is lsquoEurope wants ou
Goldrsquo And because Europe mdash
or the Jewish Money Lords the world mdash can thus intere
in American trade and tak
rom the American labor
his opportunity to labor an
reduce the value o Amer
can property is reason enoug
or the establishment o a
American system not depen
dent upon the Jews o eith
London or New Yorkrdquo
Tis quote is mild com
pared to his expression o ho
tility elsewhere in this sam
volume
ldquoAt the present time the people
the United States conront a world-wid
and world-long evil o ar greater ma
nitude that chattel slavery was mdash the pr
vate monopoly o moneyhellip [I]ts slee
and prosperous agents stand high in eve
community occupying mdash as o yore mdash
the highest seats in our synagogues T
vague yet potent orce lsquogood societyrsquo
controlled by it legislation has listene
painully or its lightest whisper the ba
the bench and pulpit have becomehellipme
minions registering Mammonrsquos decree
Does John R Rogers deserve a prom
inent place in Olympiarsquos Sylvester Par
Does his revolting anti-Semitism o ov
120 years ago negate the importance
his legislative accomplishment Sure
he deserves some acknowledgment o
his legislative achievements which hav
had a significant impact on state un
ing o public education However Gove
nor Rogersrsquo anti-Semitism in my view h
been too long overlooked
Look at the Rogers biography on Wik
pedia as an example Tere is no mentio
o him as an anti-Semite Go back to th
first biography o the statersquos governor
ldquoGovernors o Washington erritori
and Staterdquo written by University o Wash
ington proessor Edmond Meany in 191
and no mention o Rogersrsquos anti-Semitis
appears there
What to do about the essentially una
knowledged anti-Semitism o one o th
seeming heroes o our statersquos early year
I have been mulling this over or a coup

JANIS SIEGEL JTNews CorrespondentChanting ldquoLong live Palestinerdquo and
ldquoFree Free Palestinerdquo underscored by a
mobile sound system playing a booming
pro-Palestinian political mixtape nearly
150 marchers came to erminal 18 at the
Spokane Street Fishing Area in Seattle onAugust 25 to stop longshoremen rom
reporting or their shifs and unloading
the ZIM Chicago an international Israeli
vessel that had been delay ed but not
thwarted rom delivering its cargo to the
Port o Oakland in Caliornia the previ-
ous week
ldquoTe ports the police the city the
mayor and the governorrsquos oice mdash
nobody supported the actionrdquo Andy
David Israelrsquos consul general or the
Pacific Northwest in San Francisco told
JNews ldquoTey are hurting a lot o Ameri-
cans and merchantsrdquo
According to David two ships arrived
on the day o the ldquoBlock the Boatrdquo protest
in Oakland One was unloaded However
the Israeli ship wasnrsquot until day our o the
delay and there was damage to urniture
coffee chemicals and other cargo he said
He lays the blame squarely at the eet
o that cityrsquos local International Longshore
and Warehouse Union
ldquoTe ILWU was cooperating with the
protesters and therersquos enough proo o
thatrdquo David said ldquoTe local branch issued
a statement saying it was not sae or the
workers to go past the line Tey were
offered to be bused in but they reused
When they were unloading they took
lunch breaks and didnrsquot come backrdquo
David said the eamsterrsquos Union
issued its own press release condemning
the protest
Local and national leaders ear that
uture disruption at the Port would result
in job losses and devastation or small
businesses already experiencing financial
hardship
ldquo I t rsquo s a
c o w a r d l y
tacticrdquo said
David ldquoand
it hurt mer-
c h a n t s e x p o r t e r s
truck drivers
gas stat ion
owners and
w a r e h o u s e
workersrdquo
Protesters
tried to block
the Chicago
when it arrived
at the Port o acoma on Aug 23 but
workers bypassed the crowd and unloaded
it rom another location surprising the
protesters
In Seattle on Aug 25 Block the Boat
only succeeded in blocking the public
roadway adjacent to the terminal imped-
ing cargo-filled trucks and mothers with
their kids rom driving through
Protesters also blocked the three vehi-
cle entrances to the dock restrained by a
ormidable and mobile Seattle police pres-
ence that ollowed the moving crowd on
bikes in cars and in SUVs
ldquoWorkers reported or work and all o
the cargo that was going to be handled was
handledrdquo Peter McGraw the support and
real estate supervisor or the Port o Seat-
tle told JNews ldquoTey arrived and lef on
schedulerdquo
McGraw said that port police were not
involved in this action and that no Port o
Seattle property was trespassed
ldquoIn cases like this we work with our
partner law enorcement agencies and
that includes the Seattle Police Depart-
mentrdquo he said
Still organizers claimed victory
ldquoOur goal is to prevent business as
usualrdquo Nada Elia one o the organizers o
Block the Boat told JNews Elia said the
crowd was a coalition o pro-Palestinian
groups including Jewish Voice or Peace
and national boycott divest and sanction
supporters in Seattle ldquoWe want to prevent
the workers rom coming to their shif
We are in solidarity with Gaza because it
is under an illegal blockade and cannot use
its portsrdquo
Elia said she had hoped to galvanize a
showing o 300 activists mdash the number she
said the group tallied in acoma two days
beore but a Block the Boat press release
reported the number to be closer to 150
Ed Mast another protest organizer and
an activist in the Seattle Mideast Aware-
ness Campaign the organization respon-
sible or placing ads on billboards and
Metro buses that call or the US to pull its
aid to Israel kept the protesters moving
and motivated as they aced down police
along their path and at their destinations
ldquoAny delay works because itrsquos about
sending the messagerdquo said Mast who also
said he believed the action by the crowd
accomplished its goals
Craig and Cindy Corrie o Olympia
the parents o Rachel Corrie who died in a
2003 protest in Gaza came to Seattle
support Block the Boat
Corrie said their pro-Palestinian mov
ment would like to enlist more suppo
rom the unions
ldquoI think there needs to be an expense
Israelrdquo he said ldquoJust like in South Aric
this has gone too ar Te US and Isra
are becoming more isolatedrdquo
One protester was arrested and w
bailed out later that evening
Jonathan Sword 39 o Seattle said h
rejects the use o anti-Semitic and ant
police overtones oten ound in the
kinds o protests but agrees with the
political aims
ldquoItrsquos complicated but I donrsquot thin
Israel is going to do this much longer
said Sword ldquoIt canrsquot go on like thisrdquo
hough blatantly anti-Semitic sign
had been spotted at protests at Westlak
Plaza in downtown Seattle througho
the summer the Block the Boat websi
stated explicitly that no such signs wou
be tolerated at these protests and non
appeared

Tis all the Seattle Hebrew Academy
welcomes Rabbi Daniel Loew to its ac-
ulty as principal a new position created
to bridge the schoolrsquos Judaic and general
studies
Loew comes to the Modern Ortho-dox dual-curriculum early childhood-8th
grade day school rom the Hebrew High
School o New England where he had been
head o school since 2005
Loewrsquos appointment ollows SHArsquos new
strategic plan which seeks to achieve aca-
demic excellence optimize enrollment
create a more sustainable financial model
and to expand the schoolrsquos role in the
Modern Orthodox community
ldquoWe are very determined to be the
epicenter o Modern Orthodoxyrdquo SHA
head o school Rivy Poupko Kletenik told
JNews ldquoWe want to see ourselves having
a role in the community at largerdquo
One aspect o achieving this goal is to
better bridge ldquoorah ursquomadahrdquo or Jewish
studies and general studies
ldquoTe more that we can do to bring the
two departments closer together the more
learning will happen in the classroomrdquo
Kletenik said ldquoWhat has been troubling
me or several years is the separation o
departments In the morning they learn
about Greeks mdash how great the Greeks are
In the afernoon they learn about Hanuk-
kah and how horrible the Greeks are Well
which one is itrdquo
Students end up compartmentalizing
their brains the same way their days are
compartmentalized Kletenik said
ldquoWe donrsquot want that or our kidsrdquo she
continued ldquoWe need a synthesized sel
We need someone whose two parts o their
brain are talking to each otherrdquo
As principal Loew will be the ldquocentral
addressrdquo or all teachers in the K-8 pro-
gram
ldquoAs a Modern Orthodox school the
orah inorms our lives and aithulnessto our tradition is absolutely paramountrdquo
said Loew ldquoAt the same time that leaves
so much opportunity and room or learn-
ing other disciplinesrdquo
ldquoTis is big newsrdquo said Kletenik ldquoI
donrsquot know o other schools that have this
structurerdquo
Jewish day schools across the country
struggle with the financial burden placed
on amilies retaining teachers who could
earn more in the public school system
and keeping educational standards top-
notch SHArsquos strategic plan seems to be
tackling this triecta o issues by improving
the financial model educational approach
and community relationships
ldquoPeople will recognize the value o this
education and continue to invest in itrdquo said
Kletenik
Raising the quality o the education at
his previous institution is something Loew
eels proud o
ldquoTe aculty in the classrooms [is] the
ront linerdquo said Loew ldquoIrsquove been really
pleased to work with the aculty at SHA
Tey seem really passionate and dedicated
and proessional Tatrsquos really where the
success o the school lies o empower the
aculty to do what they do bestrdquo
Loew and his wie Chanie moved here
rom Hartord Conn with their five chil-
dren mdash our boys in 9th grade and under
and a 3-year-old girl Feeling it was time
or a change Loew says they were open
to anything when the job with SHA came
around He said theyrsquove been warmly wel-
comed into the community and eel privi-
leged to be here
ldquoTings just sort o ell into place in
terms o what I was looking or and wh
SHA was looking orrdquo he said ldquoTis ju
seemed to be the place where God wante
usrdquo
Thinking strategically SHA hires principal to move school forward

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo

a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo

eld made her the obvious choice to fill

selves rom the Jewish Film Festival and get

ldquoLila is the right person to respond to the
shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

ter users ldquocrashrdquo when stopping it and wa
to eel good again eventually wanting mo
due to damaged dopamine neurons Eve
small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter
effects o treating children that young a

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

We had previously been invited to join with them and a group of Holocausurvivors for lunch and based on that lovely occasion we eagerly accepted th
invitationWe were surprised to find more than 10 Summit senior couples joined by a
equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

Port protesters block nothing but traffic
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews CorrespondentChanting ldquoLong live Palestinerdquo and
ldquoFree Free Palestinerdquo underscored by a
mobile sound system playing a booming
pro-Palestinian political mixtape nearly
150 marchers came to erminal 18 at the
Spokane Street Fishing Area in Seattle onAugust 25 to stop longshoremen rom
reporting or their shifs and unloading
the ZIM Chicago an international Israeli
vessel that had been delay ed but not
thwarted rom delivering its cargo to the
Port o Oakland in Caliornia the previ-
ous week
ldquoTe ports the police the city the
mayor and the governorrsquos oice mdash
nobody supported the actionrdquo Andy
David Israelrsquos consul general or the
Pacific Northwest in San Francisco told
JNews ldquoTey are hurting a lot o Ameri-
cans and merchantsrdquo
According to David two ships arrived
on the day o the ldquoBlock the Boatrdquo protest
in Oakland One was unloaded However
the Israeli ship wasnrsquot until day our o the
delay and there was damage to urniture
coffee chemicals and other cargo he said
He lays the blame squarely at the eet
o that cityrsquos local International Longshore
and Warehouse Union
ldquoTe ILWU was cooperating with the
protesters and therersquos enough proo o
thatrdquo David said ldquoTe local branch issued
a statement saying it was not sae or the
workers to go past the line Tey were
offered to be bused in but they reused
When they were unloading they took
lunch breaks and didnrsquot come backrdquo
David said the eamsterrsquos Union
issued its own press release condemning
the protest
Local and national leaders ear that
uture disruption at the Port would result
in job losses and devastation or small
businesses already experiencing financial
hardship
ldquo I t rsquo s a
c o w a r d l y
tacticrdquo said
David ldquoand
it hurt mer-
c h a n t s e x p o r t e r s
truck drivers
gas stat ion
owners and
w a r e h o u s e
workersrdquo
Protesters
tried to block
the Chicago
when it arrived
at the Port o acoma on Aug 23 but
workers bypassed the crowd and unloaded
it rom another location surprising the
protesters
In Seattle on Aug 25 Block the Boat
only succeeded in blocking the public
roadway adjacent to the terminal imped-
ing cargo-filled trucks and mothers with
their kids rom driving through
Protesters also blocked the three vehi-
cle entrances to the dock restrained by a
ormidable and mobile Seattle police pres-
ence that ollowed the moving crowd on
bikes in cars and in SUVs
ldquoWorkers reported or work and all o
the cargo that was going to be handled was
handledrdquo Peter McGraw the support and
real estate supervisor or the Port o Seat-
tle told JNews ldquoTey arrived and lef on
schedulerdquo
McGraw said that port police were not
involved in this action and that no Port o
Seattle property was trespassed
ldquoIn cases like this we work with our
partner law enorcement agencies and
that includes the Seattle Police Depart-
mentrdquo he said
Still organizers claimed victory
ldquoOur goal is to prevent business as
usualrdquo Nada Elia one o the organizers o
Block the Boat told JNews Elia said the
crowd was a coalition o pro-Palestinian
groups including Jewish Voice or Peace
and national boycott divest and sanction
supporters in Seattle ldquoWe want to prevent
the workers rom coming to their shif
We are in solidarity with Gaza because it
is under an illegal blockade and cannot use
its portsrdquo
Elia said she had hoped to galvanize a
showing o 300 activists mdash the number she
said the group tallied in acoma two days
beore but a Block the Boat press release
reported the number to be closer to 150
Ed Mast another protest organizer and
an activist in the Seattle Mideast Aware-
ness Campaign the organization respon-
sible or placing ads on billboards and
Metro buses that call or the US to pull its
aid to Israel kept the protesters moving
and motivated as they aced down police
along their path and at their destinations
ldquoAny delay works because itrsquos about
sending the messagerdquo said Mast who also
said he believed the action by the crowd
accomplished its goals
Craig and Cindy Corrie o Olympia
the parents o Rachel Corrie who died in a
2003 protest in Gaza came to Seattle
support Block the Boat
Corrie said their pro-Palestinian mov
ment would like to enlist more suppo
rom the unions
ldquoI think there needs to be an expense
Israelrdquo he said ldquoJust like in South Aric
this has gone too ar Te US and Isra
are becoming more isolatedrdquo
One protester was arrested and w
bailed out later that evening
Jonathan Sword 39 o Seattle said h
rejects the use o anti-Semitic and ant
police overtones oten ound in the
kinds o protests but agrees with the
political aims
ldquoItrsquos complicated but I donrsquot thin
Israel is going to do this much longer
said Sword ldquoIt canrsquot go on like thisrdquo
hough blatantly anti-Semitic sign
had been spotted at protests at Westlak
Plaza in downtown Seattle througho
the summer the Block the Boat websi
stated explicitly that no such signs wou
be tolerated at these protests and non
appeared

Tis all the Seattle Hebrew Academy
welcomes Rabbi Daniel Loew to its ac-
ulty as principal a new position created
to bridge the schoolrsquos Judaic and general
studies
Loew comes to the Modern Ortho-dox dual-curriculum early childhood-8th
grade day school rom the Hebrew High
School o New England where he had been
head o school since 2005
Loewrsquos appointment ollows SHArsquos new
strategic plan which seeks to achieve aca-
demic excellence optimize enrollment
create a more sustainable financial model
and to expand the schoolrsquos role in the
Modern Orthodox community
ldquoWe are very determined to be the
epicenter o Modern Orthodoxyrdquo SHA
head o school Rivy Poupko Kletenik told
JNews ldquoWe want to see ourselves having
a role in the community at largerdquo
One aspect o achieving this goal is to
better bridge ldquoorah ursquomadahrdquo or Jewish
studies and general studies
ldquoTe more that we can do to bring the
two departments closer together the more
learning will happen in the classroomrdquo
Kletenik said ldquoWhat has been troubling
me or several years is the separation o
departments In the morning they learn
about Greeks mdash how great the Greeks are
In the afernoon they learn about Hanuk-
kah and how horrible the Greeks are Well
which one is itrdquo
Students end up compartmentalizing
their brains the same way their days are
compartmentalized Kletenik said
ldquoWe donrsquot want that or our kidsrdquo she
continued ldquoWe need a synthesized sel
We need someone whose two parts o their
brain are talking to each otherrdquo
As principal Loew will be the ldquocentral
addressrdquo or all teachers in the K-8 pro-
gram
ldquoAs a Modern Orthodox school the
orah inorms our lives and aithulnessto our tradition is absolutely paramountrdquo
said Loew ldquoAt the same time that leaves
so much opportunity and room or learn-
ing other disciplinesrdquo
ldquoTis is big newsrdquo said Kletenik ldquoI
donrsquot know o other schools that have this
structurerdquo
Jewish day schools across the country
struggle with the financial burden placed
on amilies retaining teachers who could
earn more in the public school system
and keeping educational standards top-
notch SHArsquos strategic plan seems to be
tackling this triecta o issues by improving
the financial model educational approach
and community relationships
ldquoPeople will recognize the value o this
education and continue to invest in itrdquo said
Kletenik
Raising the quality o the education at
his previous institution is something Loew
eels proud o
ldquoTe aculty in the classrooms [is] the
ront linerdquo said Loew ldquoIrsquove been really
pleased to work with the aculty at SHA
Tey seem really passionate and dedicated
and proessional Tatrsquos really where the
success o the school lies o empower the
aculty to do what they do bestrdquo
Loew and his wie Chanie moved here
rom Hartord Conn with their five chil-
dren mdash our boys in 9th grade and under
and a 3-year-old girl Feeling it was time
or a change Loew says they were open
to anything when the job with SHA came
around He said theyrsquove been warmly wel-
comed into the community and eel privi-
leged to be here
ldquoTings just sort o ell into place in
terms o what I was looking or and wh
SHA was looking orrdquo he said ldquoTis ju
seemed to be the place where God wante
usrdquo
Thinking strategically SHA hires principal to move school forward

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo
said Pinkseld ldquoWe want Seattle to become
a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo
Te ambitious goals laid out by Pinks-
eld made her the obvious choice to fill
the executive director position in Seattle
according to Carlyn Steiner president o
the regional AJC board Steiner said she
was motivated to extend an offer to Pinks-
eld during her initial interview
ldquoTe AJC board wanted to distance our-
selves rom the Jewish Film Festival and get
back to our mission o advocacy or Israeland Jews around the worldrdquo Steiner said
ldquoLila is the right person to respond to the
shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served
the leadership management director AIPAC in Houston and Seattle She w
responsible or educating the commun
ties about the lobbying process and how
impacts the US-Israel relationship
In the three years between her tw
assignments or AIPAC the NYU gradua
lived on a kibbutz in Northern Israel whe
she assisted the resource developmen
department at Kinneret College to intr
duce itsel to the English speaking world
Pinkseldrsquos development experien
began at the Hillel at ulane University

participated in the first birthright trip
Israel in 2000 which inspired her to ea
her undergraduate degree in Middle Eas

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

due to damaged dopamine neurons Eve
small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter
effects o treating children that young a

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

W CAPACITY FOR LOVE PAGE 13
After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of
Temple Beth Hatfiloh in Olympia

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

Local prof tackles the shifting sands of the Middle East
JOEL MAGALNICK Editor JTNewsInterested in knowing more about
why therersquos a war against Hamas in Gaza
Where ISIS came rom and how it came
about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer
link on various websites but what yoursquoll
learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

Tis all the Seattle Hebrew Academy
welcomes Rabbi Daniel Loew to its ac-
ulty as principal a new position created
to bridge the schoolrsquos Judaic and general
studies
Loew comes to the Modern Ortho-dox dual-curriculum early childhood-8th
grade day school rom the Hebrew High
School o New England where he had been
head o school since 2005
Loewrsquos appointment ollows SHArsquos new
strategic plan which seeks to achieve aca-
demic excellence optimize enrollment
create a more sustainable financial model
and to expand the schoolrsquos role in the
Modern Orthodox community
ldquoWe are very determined to be the
epicenter o Modern Orthodoxyrdquo SHA
head o school Rivy Poupko Kletenik told
JNews ldquoWe want to see ourselves having
a role in the community at largerdquo
One aspect o achieving this goal is to
better bridge ldquoorah ursquomadahrdquo or Jewish
studies and general studies
ldquoTe more that we can do to bring the
two departments closer together the more
learning will happen in the classroomrdquo
Kletenik said ldquoWhat has been troubling
me or several years is the separation o
departments In the morning they learn
about Greeks mdash how great the Greeks are
In the afernoon they learn about Hanuk-
kah and how horrible the Greeks are Well
which one is itrdquo
Students end up compartmentalizing
their brains the same way their days are
compartmentalized Kletenik said
ldquoWe donrsquot want that or our kidsrdquo she
continued ldquoWe need a synthesized sel
We need someone whose two parts o their
brain are talking to each otherrdquo
As principal Loew will be the ldquocentral
addressrdquo or all teachers in the K-8 pro-
gram
ldquoAs a Modern Orthodox school the
orah inorms our lives and aithulnessto our tradition is absolutely paramountrdquo
said Loew ldquoAt the same time that leaves
so much opportunity and room or learn-
ing other disciplinesrdquo
ldquoTis is big newsrdquo said Kletenik ldquoI
donrsquot know o other schools that have this
structurerdquo
Jewish day schools across the country
struggle with the financial burden placed
on amilies retaining teachers who could
earn more in the public school system
and keeping educational standards top-
notch SHArsquos strategic plan seems to be
tackling this triecta o issues by improving
the financial model educational approach
and community relationships
ldquoPeople will recognize the value o this
education and continue to invest in itrdquo said
Kletenik
Raising the quality o the education at
his previous institution is something Loew
eels proud o
ldquoTe aculty in the classrooms [is] the
ront linerdquo said Loew ldquoIrsquove been really
pleased to work with the aculty at SHA
Tey seem really passionate and dedicated
and proessional Tatrsquos really where the
success o the school lies o empower the
aculty to do what they do bestrdquo
Loew and his wie Chanie moved here
rom Hartord Conn with their five chil-
dren mdash our boys in 9th grade and under
and a 3-year-old girl Feeling it was time
or a change Loew says they were open
to anything when the job with SHA came
around He said theyrsquove been warmly wel-
comed into the community and eel privi-
leged to be here
ldquoTings just sort o ell into place in
terms o what I was looking or and wh
SHA was looking orrdquo he said ldquoTis ju
seemed to be the place where God wante
usrdquo
Thinking strategically SHA hires principal to move school forward

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo

a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo

shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served
the leadership management director AIPAC in Houston and Seattle She w
responsible or educating the commun
ties about the lobbying process and how
impacts the US-Israel relationship
In the three years between her tw

duce itsel to the English speaking world

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

Our bridge acrossgenerationsBy Anne Boher
Recently Emily Ziskind director of life enrichment at Te Summit at FirHill asked my husband Leslie and me if wersquod like to join a group of young peopfrom Hillelrsquos Jconnect who wanted to visit and mingle with senior couples in ceebration of the Jewish holiday that honors love u brsquoAv Te couples from tholder and younger generations would come together and share information thwould hopefully strengthen the marriages of the young couples just starting ou
We had previously been invited to join with them and a group of Holocausurvivors for lunch and based on that lovely occasion we eagerly accepted th
invitationWe were surprised to find more than 10 Summit senior couples joined by a
equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

W CAPACITY FOR LOVE PAGE 13
After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of
Temple Beth Hatfiloh in Olympia

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer

learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo
said Pinkseld ldquoWe want Seattle to become
a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo
Te ambitious goals laid out by Pinks-
eld made her the obvious choice to fill
the executive director position in Seattle
according to Carlyn Steiner president o
the regional AJC board Steiner said she
was motivated to extend an offer to Pinks-
eld during her initial interview
ldquoTe AJC board wanted to distance our-
selves rom the Jewish Film Festival and get
back to our mission o advocacy or Israeland Jews around the worldrdquo Steiner said
ldquoLila is the right person to respond to the
shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served
the leadership management director AIPAC in Houston and Seattle She w
responsible or educating the commun
ties about the lobbying process and how
impacts the US-Israel relationship
In the three years between her tw
assignments or AIPAC the NYU gradua
lived on a kibbutz in Northern Israel whe
she assisted the resource developmen

duce itsel to the English speaking world
Pinkseldrsquos development experien

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output
dopamine the ldquoeel goodrdquo neurotransm
ter users ldquocrashrdquo when stopping it and wa
to eel good again eventually wanting mo
due to damaged dopamine neurons Eve
small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

Recently Emily Ziskind director of life enrichment at Te Summit at FirHill asked my husband Leslie and me if wersquod like to join a group of young peopfrom Hillelrsquos Jconnect who wanted to visit and mingle with senior couples in ceebration of the Jewish holiday that honors love u brsquoAv Te couples from tholder and younger generations would come together and share information thwould hopefully strengthen the marriages of the young couples just starting ou
We had previously been invited to join with them and a group of Holocausurvivors for lunch and based on that lovely occasion we eagerly accepted th
invitationWe were surprised to find more than 10 Summit senior couples joined by a
equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

United States
in the Middle

by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo
said Pinkseld ldquoWe want Seattle to become
a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo

eld made her the obvious choice to fill

eld during her initial interview

selves rom the Jewish Film Festival and get

ldquoLila is the right person to respond to the
shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served
the leadership management director AIPAC in Houston and Seattle She w
responsible or educating the commun
ties about the lobbying process and how
impacts the US-Israel relationship
In the three years between her tw
assignments or AIPAC the NYU gradua

duce itsel to the English speaking world

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

ter users ldquocrashrdquo when stopping it and wa
to eel good again eventually wanting mo
due to damaged dopamine neurons Eve
small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter
effects o treating children that young a
unknown
And a large 2014 study the Prema
ket Saety and Efficacy Studies or ADH
Medications in Children which looked
32 clinical trials to recommend or reject th
approval o 20 new ADHD drugs beore th
drugs were marketed expressed pessimism
Tat study evaluated the number o pa
ticipants in the trials and documented th
subjectsrsquo length o exposure in the ADH

ldquoIt is unclear to what extent the lon

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

Our bridge acrossgenerationsBy Anne Boher
Recently Emily Ziskind director of life enrichment at Te Summit at FirHill asked my husband Leslie and me if wersquod like to join a group of young peopfrom Hillelrsquos Jconnect who wanted to visit and mingle with senior couples in ceebration of the Jewish holiday that honors love u brsquoAv Te couples from tholder and younger generations would come together and share information thwould hopefully strengthen the marriages of the young couples just starting ou
We had previously been invited to join with them and a group of Holocausurvivors for lunch and based on that lovely occasion we eagerly accepted th
invitationWe were surprised to find more than 10 Summit senior couples joined by a
equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

W CAPACITY FOR LOVE PAGE 13
After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of
Temple Beth Hatfiloh in Olympia

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer

learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

New AJC director wants change to start in Seattle
DAN AZNOFF JTNews CorrespondentTe recently named regional director o
the American Jewish Committee in Seattle
will need cooperation rom the Chamber
o Commerce and the tourism bureau to
implement the changes she hopes to bring
to the advocacy organizationexas native Lila Pinkseld took on
the leadership role in the
regional office in late July afer
a nationwide search to replace
Wendy Rosen who lef late
last year Pinkseldrsquos goal is
to make Seattle an example o
cooperation to diplomats and
government officials
ldquoWe need to increase the
knowledge o whatrsquos hap-
pening locally and nation-
allyrdquo said Pinkseld ldquoTat will
require support and collabora-
tion rom leaders in the busi-
ness community who understand the issues
and know the truthrdquo
Pinkseld described the nationwide AJC
organization and the Seattle chapter as
being in a state o transition She explained
the organization has been an advocate or
civil rights and immigration issues since
1906 but has needed to readjust its ocus on
issues that include the rise o anti-Semitism
in Europe terrorism and the possibility o
a nuclear Iran as well as advocacy or Israel
ldquoTese are the same atrocities o the
Middle Ages repeating themselves right
now in Europerdquo she said ldquoTe only thingthe experts can all agree on is that education
is our best weapon against
ignorancerdquo
Her plan to secure the
saety o Israeli citizens and
Jews around the world begins
with opening an interaith
dialog with members o the
Christian and Muslim com-
munities
ldquohe regional oices
cannot turn on a dime but
we can make a good start
right here in Seattle as an
example o what is possiblerdquo
said Pinkseld ldquoWe want Seattle to become
a shining example to political and religious
leaders o the walls that can be torn down
through communications and educationrdquo
Te ambitious goals laid out by Pinks-
eld made her the obvious choice to fill
the executive director position in Seattle
according to Carlyn Steiner president o
the regional AJC board Steiner said she
was motivated to extend an offer to Pinks-
eld during her initial interview
ldquoTe AJC board wanted to distance our-
selves rom the Jewish Film Festival and get
back to our mission o advocacy or Israeland Jews around the worldrdquo Steiner said
ldquoLila is the right person to respond to the
shifing threats against Jews around the
worldrdquo
he board president witnessed the
renewed mistrust o Jews all across Europe
during a recent trip to Paris and Belgium
According to an update released by the AJC
in August the organization has bolstered
its presence in European cities to monitor
the situation as it develops
Steiner added that the AJC has also
established an office in Kiev to respond to
both Jewish and humanitarian needs in the
Ukraine
Pinkseld explained that the AJC needs
to develop partnerships between parlia-
ments in Europe and government officials
in the US to support the critical needs o
Jews
ldquoTe geographic position o Seattle and
the base o industry in our community mdash
high-tech aerospace mdash puts our region in
a position to become a leader in the fig
to protect and support Jewish interests
Asia in Europe and in Israelrdquo she said
Beore accepting her new role as region
director or the AJC Pinkseld served
the leadership management director AIPAC in Houston and Seattle She w
responsible or educating the commun
ties about the lobbying process and how
impacts the US-Israel relationship
In the three years between her tw
assignments or AIPAC the NYU gradua
lived on a kibbutz in Northern Israel whe
she assisted the resource developmen
department at Kinneret College to intr
duce itsel to the English speaking world
Pinkseldrsquos development experien
began at the Hillel at ulane University

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

to eel good again eventually wanting mo
due to damaged dopamine neurons Eve
small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter
effects o treating children that young a
unknown
And a large 2014 study the Prema

drugs were marketed expressed pessimism

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of
Temple Beth Hatfiloh in Olympia

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

Local prof tackles the shifting sands of the Middle East
JOEL MAGALNICK Editor JTNewsInterested in knowing more about
why therersquos a war against Hamas in Gaza
Where ISIS came rom and how it came
about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer
link on various websites but what yoursquoll
learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For

Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

Te idea came rom two ribemembers who have parents
living there
Rosie Coe the only emale rider that day
visited with her mother Perla Schneider
ldquoMom were you araid when I started
riding motorcyclesrdquo Coe asked her mother
ldquoI thought you were in good handsrdquo
Schneider responded reerring to Coersquos
fianceacute Bruce Lobree who got her into the
hobby

ldquoWhen I heard about the
ribe it was like this camara-

because wersquore all Jews and we
all ride motorcycles Itrsquos pretty
coolrdquo
According to the JewishMotorcycle Alliance ldquohe
common thread is our religion

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output

ter users ldquocrashrdquo when stopping it and wa
to eel good again eventually wanting mo
due to damaged dopamine neurons Eve
small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked

governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

Local prof tackles the shifting sands of the Middle East
JOEL MAGALNICK Editor JTNewsInterested in knowing more about
why therersquos a war against Hamas in Gaza
Where ISIS came rom and how it came
about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer
link on various websites but what yoursquoll
learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

Pay attention A simple discovery
tool for ADHD
JANIS SIEGEL JTNews ColumnistIsraeli researchers rom el
Aviv University the Univer-
sity o Haia and the Gold-
schleger Eye Research Instituteat Sheba Medical Center el
Hashomer ound what theyrsquove
called a ldquooolproordquo method
o diagnosing children with
Attention Deficit Hyperactiv-
ity Disorder Given ADHDrsquos
uncodified set o symptoms its
unknown causes and the many
side eects o the metham-
phetamine-based drugs used
to treat children who are diag-
nosed with it according to the National
Institutes o Health it would be more than
worthwhile or parents to direct their atten-
tion to the results o this newly published
study which simply observes a suffererrsquos
micro-sized eye movements
Although the study published by Dr
Moshe Fried rom AUrsquos Sackler Faculty o
Medicine in the May 2014 issue o the jour-
nal ldquoVision Researchrdquo recommended using
these drugs or the treatment o ADHD
because its study reaffirmed they work Te
reduction o misdiagnosed children who
wonrsquot be exposed to amphetamines and
stimulants like Adderall and methylpheni-
date the generic name or Ritalin and Con-
certa could be significant
ldquoWe had two objectives going into this
researchrdquo Fried said in a university state-
ment ldquoTe first was to provide a new diag-
nostic tool or ADHD and the second was to
test whether ADHD medication really works
mdash and we ound that it doesrdquo
A simple and inexpensive 22-minute
interval exercise can accurately diagnose the
disorder
ldquoTis test is affordable and accessiblerdquo
said Fried ldquorendering it a practical and ool-
proo tool or medical proessionals Eye
movements tracked in this test are involun-
tary so they constitute a sound physiological
marker o ADHDrdquo
Researchers recorded eye and eyelid
movements known as oculomotor move-
ments in two groups o 22 ADHD-diag-
nosed patients One group was given Ritalin
and the other received no medication
Along with a third control group o 22
non-ADHD subjects they all took the Vari-
ables o Attention est where each was mea-
sured against a known standard involuntary
eye movement rate to show which attention-
related mechanisms are affected by ADHD
and to compare with the other groups
Researchers ound that the average small
involuntary twitchy movements called mic-
rosaccades and the blink rates were higher
in the ADHD groups Tey also increased
over the 22-minute period in both the med-
icated and the unmedicated groups but in
much quicker increments in the unmedi-
cated group
ldquoWith medicationrdquo wrote Fried in the
study report ldquothe level and time course o
the microsaccade rate were u
normalized to the control lev
regardless o the time interv
within trials We suggest thADHD subjects ail to mai
tain sufficient levels o arous
during a simple and prolong
task which limits their abili
to dynamically allocate atte
tion while anticipating visu
stimuli Tis impairment no
malizes with medication an
its oculomotor quantificatio
could potentially be used
differential diagnosisrdquo
According to the US Centers or Disea
Control and Prevention 11 percent o ch
dren between 4 and 17 years old were dia
nosed with ADHD in 2011 Tatrsquos nearly
million children in 2014 population figure
However the US National Institute
Drug Abuse has expressed concerns abo
serious concurrent side effects and lon
term effects in the brains o those takin
methamphetamines he drugs can al
change the unction o the brain and th
body o users the agency said
Because it increases the brainrsquos output
dopamine the ldquoeel goodrdquo neurotransm
ter users ldquocrashrdquo when stopping it and wa
to eel good again eventually wanting mo
due to damaged dopamine neurons Eve
small doses can cause sleeplessness loss
appetite higher blood pressure and a ast
heartbeat while users can also become mo
aggressive and irritable
Researchers have also discovered th
three years afer stopping the drug dop
mine neurons were still damaged o date
is not known i they recover
A 2008 study published in ldquoChild an
Adolescent Psychiatric Clinics o Nor
Americardquo cites evidence that treating pr
schoolers would curb the onset o ADH
earlier but admitted that the long-ter
effects o treating children that young a
unknown
And a large 2014 study the Prema
ket Saety and Efficacy Studies or ADH
Medications in Children which looked
32 clinical trials to recommend or reject th
approval o 20 new ADHD drugs beore th
drugs were marketed expressed pessimism
Tat study evaluated the number o pa
ticipants in the trials and documented th
subjectsrsquo length o exposure in the ADH

scribed
ldquoIt is unclear to what extent the lon

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still

Our bridge acrossgenerationsBy Anne Boher
Recently Emily Ziskind director of life enrichment at Te Summit at FirHill asked my husband Leslie and me if wersquod like to join a group of young peopfrom Hillelrsquos Jconnect who wanted to visit and mingle with senior couples in ceebration of the Jewish holiday that honors love u brsquoAv Te couples from tholder and younger generations would come together and share information thwould hopefully strengthen the marriages of the young couples just starting ou
We had previously been invited to join with them and a group of Holocausurvivors for lunch and based on that lovely occasion we eagerly accepted th
invitationWe were surprised to find more than 10 Summit senior couples joined by a
equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

W CAPACITY FOR LOVE PAGE 13
After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of
Temple Beth Hatfiloh in Olympia

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

JOEL MAGALNICK Editor JTNewsInterested in knowing more about
why therersquos a war against Hamas in Gaza
Where ISIS came rom and how it came
about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer
link on various websites but what yoursquoll
learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

The Jewish capacityfor loveBy Erin Pike
Love has been on my mindExactly one year ago I was in Israel falling in love with its natural beauty
and powerful spiritual energy It was no accident that I left the States singleand returned ready for love I knew after that trip (my first time on Birthright)that my heart had grown I could feel it stretch throughout the 10-day journeyexpanding uncomfortably growing pains in the slow heat of a desert Te tripthough brief had challenged me It forced me to truly understand how there areparts of people parts of a place that are flawed and imperfect and yet I could still
experience love within the crevices of those imperfectionsOf course I knew that concept already I just had not lived it yet So I
stepped off the plane at Sea-ac and into my first serious relationship He wasthe only partner I had been with where our friendship felt as promising as ourmutual attraction for one another I understood that to be the best kind of lovepossible wo pals with an inside joke sharing grins across the table
ldquoI love yourdquo I said one dayTen another day not long after that there was a knock on my front door
ldquoIrsquom moving onrdquo he said

We had previously been invited to join with them and a group of Holocausurvivors for lunch and based on that lovely occasion we eagerly accepted th
invitationWe were surprised to find more than 10 Summit senior couples joined by a
equal number of young couples At first the scene resembled a high school dancwith the ldquojuniorsrdquo at one end of the room and the ldquoseniorsrdquo at the other Emilquickly took charge and asked everyone to introduce themselves starting witthe younger group Te seniors were asked how long we had been married howe met and whether we had any advice for marital happiness mdash perhaps witan interesting anecdote Te young couples had similar stories except instead oblind dating they found each other on computers

W CAPACITY FOR LOVE PAGE 13
After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

United States
in the Middle

bia University

by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

W CAPACITY FOR LOVE PAGE 13
After he walked away I felt vacant I felt nothing I wanted to weep butfound it difficult I was frozen in a state of confusion and shock But as summerapproached my heart began to thaw and I could finally feel and love again
I had an incredible summer full of healing So when I heard that Jconnectwas hosting a u BrsquoAv event where young couples would join older couples atTe Summit on First Hill to discuss love I couldnrsquot wait to partake
As I sipped a glass of wine in the library of the Summit I found myself oddly
nervous Tere were couples in the room that had been together 23 years 45years even 65 years It was like being in a room full of great works of art andfeeling worried that I wouldnrsquot have time to take them all in A microphone waspassed around the circle of individuals many Summit residents touted half-jok-ing advice like the importance of ldquoYes dearrdquo and ldquoNever buy anything on creditrdquo
But as young couples began to mingle and converse one on one with theolder couples serious conversations emerged about the nature of togetherness(ldquoKids donrsquot give it enough timehellip you gotta work at itrdquo) and the critical senseof community (ldquoWhat a comfortable feeling to be with your own people [at theSummit] in this stage of liferdquo) Soon many of the topics had progressed fromrelationships and marriage to broader themes of Jewish identity and cultureOne resident spoke to members of Jconnect about living in Israel and his frus-tration regarding the conflicts between denominations within Judaism
A few couples also shared stories of serious world events affecting their livesMajor earthquakes evacuations war traveling by boat and the luck of being in
the right one With their clarity and perspective I had to wonder mdash how muchis our ability to love strengthened by hardship Is it possible that many of my
Jewish peers and I have encountered difficulty in love because there is a lack ofcultural urgency in our generation
I am reminded of a friendrsquos observation from a Shabbat service It was herfirst time in a synagogue and she remarked on how interesting it was that wetook time in an otherwise joyous celebration to honor relatives and communitymembers who were no longer with us Te tradition mdash celebrating life while alsoacknowledging death mdash resonated with her It was the sense that our lives do notexist forever but while wersquore alive we must live fully
Bi l l Schmidt aSummit resident adviseda couple who had been
together five years to takethe leap into marriagesaying ldquoWhat are youwaiting forrdquo
Schick and FriedaFeinberg a Summitcouple shared that theirlove had eventually pro-duced 51 grandchildrenLeslie and I had a chanceto talk about our excitingmarried life which began with an earthquake during the wedding ceremony ana forest fire that delayed our honeymoon
After the icebreaker Emily asked the young couples to break into groupwith the senior couples of their choosing Soon the room reverberated with laughter and animated conversation We felt lucky to have been chosen by a delightful couple Te young lady recently qualified as a psychiatrist and now works the VA hospital Te young man just started medical school and they now haveyoung child Te young lady hopes to persuade her grandmother to move to Seattle and maybe move into Te Summit We had a lot in common and were captureby their charm and intelligence
We all shared refreshments and all too soon it was time to say goodbye Aftewards we seniors expressed our pleasure at meeting such an attractive and attentive group of young people We hope we have a chance to visit with them again
Living life fully includes expressing and receiving love fully As the residentof Te Summit shared their insights on u BrsquoAv love for your partner love foyour people and love for your community are all integral to sustaining a healthheart well into your golden years

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of
Temple Beth Hatfiloh in Olympia

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

Local prof tackles the shifting sands of the Middle East
JOEL MAGALNICK Editor JTNewsInterested in knowing more about
why therersquos a war against Hamas in Gaza
Where ISIS came rom and how it came
about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer
link on various websites but what yoursquoll
learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

o years afer first coming upon Rogersrsquos
screed in the Washington State Library I
have talked it over with riends rom my
careers in academics and government
One option I put to them is to do noth-
ing leaving the statue and Rogersrsquos rep-
utation untouched A second option is
to push or a second plaque on his statue
in downtown Olympia providing a more
complete picture o this populist A third
option is to push or removal o this statue
to a less prominent spot inside the office
building o the Superintendent o Public
Instruction or example
What was the result o my inormal poll
Whether Jew or non-Jew most avor doing
nothing No one knows whether Governor
Rogers truly was an anti-Semite What I
was asked would be the aim o sullying his
reputation at this point
Anti-Semitism was hardly uncommon
in 19th-century America especially among
Populists But Rogersrsquos anti-Semitism w
hardly benign Imagine yoursel as a Jewi
person during that time hearing or readin
such vile language coming rom a man wh
would shortly be the governor o the state
Libels such as those disseminated b
Rogers have a long history and a long li
While Governor Rogers was in many wa
a product o his times that is hardly
reason to ignore his hostility to the Jewi
people and his bizarre linking o Jews an
the crisis o the 1890s
Let me pose two questions to you
there a time limit on holding a public figu
in this state responsible or his anti-Sem
tism What should be done about Rogers
statue or the schools named afer him
Russell Lidman is a retired professor in publi
policy at Seattle University and has worked
The Evergreen State College and in the
governorrsquos office for more recent incumbent
He is also the outgoing board president of

In lame-duck period Obama administration retreats from peace endeavors
RON KAMPEAS JTA World News Service Analysis
WASHINGON (JA) mdash Does the
prospect o President Obamarsquos lame-duck
period coupled with the multiple oreign
crises he is acing diminish his quest or
Israeli-Palestinian peaceLittle on the immediate diplomatic
horizon signals an intensive US interest
in advancing the peace process
Tere have been no announcements o
high-level meetings between Obama and
the Palestinian and Israeli leaders at the
UN General Assembly which begins this
year on Sept 16 Tere have been no leaks
as there have been in the past that Obama
would be making any major statements on
the peace process at the GA
John Kerry the peripatetic US secre-
tary o state who lost count o his visits
to the region until the collapse in April o
peace talks between Israel and the Pales-
tinian Authority has no plans to return
anytime soon
Rather Kerry and Obama are ocused
on an expanding range o issues includ-
ing escalations in Russiarsquos conflict with
Ukraine pushing back against Islamist
extremists throughout the Middle East
and a looming deadline in nuclear talks
with Iran
Additionally Obama administration
relations with both the Israelis and Pales-
tinians have soured since the collapse o the
peace talks which the Americans blamed
on both sides mdash the Palestinians or resist-
ing a deadline extension Israel or expand-
ing settlement activity ensions were
exacerbated over civilian casualties among
Palestinians during Israelrsquos war with
Hamas in the Gaza Strip over the summer
Alan Solow a past chairman o the
Conerence o Presidents o Major Amer-
ican Jewish Organizations and a major
undraiser or Obamarsquos election cam-
paigns said it doesnrsquot make sense topursue a peace that the sides are not ready
to embrace
ldquoTey recognize they want to spend
their time productivelyrdquo Solow said on
uesday ldquoWhere they sense a urther
investment o time will not yield progress
there are plenty o other problems they
can turn to that may yield progressrdquo
Statements rom officials suggest that
the Obama administration is more inter-
ested in managing rather than resolving
the conflict
Jen Psaki Kerryrsquos spokeswoman said
that a meeting Kerry planned to have in
Washington with Saeb Erekat the top Pal-
estinian peace negotiator would ocus on
the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas
She did not mention the peace process
ldquoTeyrsquoll talk about a range o issues
therersquos an ongoing cease-fire discussion
and a range o longer-term issuesrdquo she said
Asked by a reporter about Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbasrsquo
latest reported proposal or a three-year
withdrawal o Israel rom the West Bank
based on UN resolutions Psaki would
say only that the United States did not see
the proposal as ldquoproductiverdquo
Jonathan Schanzer a vice president o
the Foundation or Deense o Democ-
racies a oreign policy think tank that
avors intervention counseled contin-
ued US engagement should the par-
ties decide they seriously want to discuss
peace But Schanzer said it was about time
or the Obama administration to let go o
its ambitions or a resolution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict
ldquoImagine i we had spent the same time
and energy fighting ISIS over the last 1
months as we had investing in the peac
processrdquo he said reerring to the jihad
ist group in Iraq and Syria that the Obam
administration has only in recent week
directly engaged

Local prof tackles the shifting sands of the Middle East
JOEL MAGALNICK Editor JTNewsInterested in knowing more about
why therersquos a war against Hamas in Gaza
Where ISIS came rom and how it came
about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer
link on various websites but what yoursquoll
learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

Local prof tackles the shifting sands of the Middle East
JOEL MAGALNICK Editor JTNewsInterested in knowing more about
why therersquos a war against Hamas in Gaza
Where ISIS came rom and how it came
about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer
link on various websites but what yoursquoll
learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home

Local prof tackles the shifting sands of the Middle East
JOEL MAGALNICK Editor JTNewsInterested in knowing more about
why therersquos a war against Hamas in Gaza
Where ISIS came rom and how it came
about Why therersquos such an anti-West-
ern bias throughout the Middle East You
could get a lot o that inormation romspending hours on end ollowing link afer
link on various websites but what yoursquoll
learn will likely be biased ear-mongering
propaganda
Or you could
pick up ldquoShit-
ing Sands he
United States
in the Middle
Eastrdquo (Colum-
bia University
Press 2014)
by Pro Joel
Migdal o
t h e U n i -
ve rs it y o
Washingtonrsquos Jackson School o
International Studies As Migdal who is
airly well known within our Jewish com-
munity notes in his oreword this book
is based on lectures he gave on other cam-
puses titled ldquoTe Making o the wenty-
First Centuryrdquo Its ocus however goes
back to the early part o the 20th mostly
because the jumbled mess that constitutes
todayrsquos Middle East is the direct result o
decisions mdash we can call them bad but isnrsquot
hindsight always 2020 mdash made 30 or 50
or 100 years ago
Where Migdal takes a different tack
however is in his perspective Rather than
portraying the United States as the white
knight that comes in to save the day afer
every skirmish coup drsquoetat or civil warhe digs deep to explain how even some o
our most celebrated leaders over the past
century couldnrsquot get their heads out rom
between their legs to figure out what was
going on ldquoIn short diplomacy was raught
with uncertainty and danger Clear strate-
gic aims did not lead either to clear tactics
or a clear-cut set o policieshellip Pursuing a
coherent strategy turned out to be messy
businessrdquo
Part o the problem was the way our
leaders at any given time put the Middle
East situation into their own context
Trough the rame o the Cold War trying
to use the oligarchies and dictatorships as
pieces in the deadly chess game between the
US and the Soviet Union or example or
as an imperial power that made no bones
about its decision to invade Iraq in 2003
Even with so much access to inorma-
tion getting a grasp on the region has not
been easy ldquoFor US officials recognizing
and understanding the Middle Eastrsquos cen-
tral dynamics especially in a region that
was so undamentally transormed were
major challengesrdquo Migdal writes about
changes in the region in the 1970s and
beyond ldquoIt was not immediately clear to
US policy makers what the changes in the
region actually were what they added up
to or how to construct sensible effective
policies in response to themrdquo
Coming into the 21st century Migdal
has particular enmity toward the GeorgeW Bush administration saying that Bush
ldquomissed the totality o the transorma-
tion that had overtaken the Middle Eastrdquo
Rather than using other powers to build
strong coalitions and to help deray costs
Bushrsquos go-it-alone strategy dearly cost
America both economically and in its
world standing
Migdal is not so easy on the Obama
administration either writing that though
the president had brought in big names with
vast diplomatic experience ldquowhat was still
missing rom this mix o archers and arrows
was a clear target Tere was no compre-
hensive understanding o how the various
hotspots wars and other challenges that the
United States aced in the area intersected
with one another so that a coherent region-
wide policy could be devisedrdquo
Instead Migdal calls to ldquomove away
rom Bushrsquos and Obamarsquos elevation o the
fight to a central plank o American dome
tic and oreign policy and one o the pi
lars o strategy in the Middle East T
campaign against terrorhellipshould be see
as a chronic law-enorcement problem
one with international dimensions but should not be upgraded to an all-out war
Such goals he writes are unattainable an
ldquoerode confidence in government and pu
out more attainable aimsrdquo
While the book ends on a hopeul note
was published beore the summer when a
hell broke loose across the region so to get
that place o optimism may take more tim
than even Migdal who more or less predic
the rise o these new terror groups by aim
not by name may have believed
Given his connection to Israel and th
amount o time he has spent there Migd
gives more attention to the Jewish Sta
than another author writing a similar boo
may have done Tis doesnrsquot take aw
rom the importance o the overall oreig
policy lesson but it makes me wonder h
ell into the same trap as rest o the wor
when it comes to the attention paid to th
Israeli-Palestinian conflict

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

Drawn together by hopes for peaceBy Jacob Greene
For several months this year I l ivedin Israel The majority of my time Ispent studying with Alexander MussHigh School in Israel along with 29American and Canadian teenagerswith support from an Israel scholar-ship from the Jewish Federation ofGreater Seattle
I have many friends in Israel all ofwhom I met through Ultimate Peace(UP) an organization that bringstogether Israeli Jewish Arab Israeliand Palestinian youth through the
sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed
ldquoHosardquo Romman aMuslim boy I had grown
close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget
Hosa lives in the small Arab village
of Ein Rafa directly outside of Jeruslem and I arranged to meet him witthree other American UP friends
This particular day was the begining of the month of Ramadan thmost important Islamic holidaduring which adults fast every daAs we sat down to lunch outsidthe Machane Yehuda market Hosordered in Hebrew for us beautful bowls of sabich mdash eggplant anhardboiled egg atop hummus Thewere four of us but only three meal

j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

A little sweetness in this season of renewal
MICHAEL NATKIN JTNews ColumnistRosh Hashanah is right
around the corner and what
could be more appropriate or
the New Year than a dessert
eaturing honey as well as egg-
rich crepes You can even sub-stitute apples or the plums i
yoursquod like to add another tra-
ditional element
I first made this or a PBS
event celebrating Julia Childrsquos
100th birthday When they
asked me to contribute a
recipe I knew right away I
wanted to do something with
crepes I only have two cookbooks rom my
mom ldquoMastering the Art o French Cook-
ingrdquo is one o them and I read it cover to
cover many times when I was just starting
out in the kitchen
O all the recipes in the book I come
back to the crepes most ofen Itrsquos a simple
thing You put all o the batter ingredients
in a blender give them a good spin let it sit
in the rerigerator or a couple o hours and
then make the crepes Sure it takes a bit o
practice to get the knack o orming a nice
thin circle finding the right heat level and
flipping them but afer one batch yoursquoll
have a skill you can use to please riends
and amily or the rest o your lie Irsquove got
some tips or you in the recipe
Te plums I use are rom my neighborrsquos
tree Tey are a French variety
but Italian plums would be just
as good What you want is one
o the varieties that has a loose
(ree) pit and is rather dense so
it can cook without the juicesrunning everywhere
Enjoy and shana tova
Crepes with RoastedPlums Yogurt andHoneyServes 6
12 crepes (one recipe from
ldquoMastering the Art of French
Cooking Volume 1rdquo see below)
9 Italian plums
2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
2 leaves fresh sage rubbed and thinly sliced
34 cup thick Greek yogurt
2 Tbs slivovitz (plum brandy) or plain brandy
or 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs honey plus more for drizzling
Pinch of salt
Preheat oven to 450ordm Line a baking
sheet with parchment or a silpat Cut the
plums in half and remove the pits In a
medium bowl toss the plums with the
melted butter and sage and place the
plums on the baking sheet Roast for 10
minutes Pluck off most of the sage (For
apples use three apples peeled cored
and sliced into eighths and roast until
tender)
Stir the yogurt with the slivovitz and hon-
ey To serve fold two warm crepes into
quarters and overlap on a plate Put 2
Tbs of the yogurt on top of the crepes
and put 3 half plums on top of the yogurtDrizzle with additional honey and serve
Julia Childrsquos CrepesYields about 12 crepes
I donrsquot want to reproduce Juliarsquos recipe
in the entirety but here are the ingredi-
ents and my synopsis of the method
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
4 eggs
12 tsp salt
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
(I use 9 ounces and donrsquot sift)
4 Tbs melted butter
Combine all ingredients in the blender
Blend on high speed for 1 minute scrap-
ing down the sides if needed Refrigerate
for 2 hours (Irsquove been known to omit the
refrigeration The point of this step is to al-
low the flour to hydrate but it makes quite
acceptable crepes if used immediately)
Place a 12rdquo non-stick skillet over medium
to medium-high heat with a tiny bit of but-
ter When preheated pour in 14 cup of
the batter while tilting and swirling the
skillet in all directions for a few seconds
to produce a generally circular thin crepe
If you canrsquot get the batter to spread eve
ly you need to either (1) work on your ti
ing and swirling (2) thin out the batter a b
or (3) lower the heat Expect it to take
few crepes to really dial it in
Cook until lightly browned on one sid
about 1 minute or a bit more then fl
and cook for just about 30 seconds o
the other side I usually perform the fl
by lifting the edge with a silicone spatu
and then using my fingers to rapidly tu
it over I have asbestos fingers though s
only try it this way if you feel comfortab
that you wonrsquot hurt yourself Otherwis
use two spatulas

sport of UltimateFrisbee At theend of my studyabroad programI would be stay-ing on in Israel toparticipate in UP asa coach in training for asecond summer I wasexcited to finally see myfriends and visit them intheir cities and villages
As my time at Alexander Muss
came to a close Iwas disappointedthat I hadnrsquot beenable to visit myfriend Mohammed

close to through UltimatePeace However I finallygot that chance after UPcamp ended and itrsquos avisit Irsquoll never forget

Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace

Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream

26 the life amp times of Northwest Jewish teens september 5 201
j- t e e n
Hosa smiled and explained that hewas fasting We felt guilty but none-theless ate our lunches listening as heexplained the customs of Ramadan
After lunch we walked to the OldCity of Jerusalem to visit the historicalsites Despite living only a few milesfrom Jerusalem Hosa had never beento the Church of the Holy Sepulchreone of Christianityrsquos most holy placesWe stood in the courtyard outsidelooking around at the people who hadcome from far away to be at a place inHosarsquos backyard
Before going inside Hosa threw alonger sleeved shirt over his tank outof respect As we toured the church
it didnrsquot matter thatwe understood littleof the things we sawwe just knew andrespected the holinessof the place
Next we went tosee the Western Wall
another site Hosahad never visited Onour way we walkedthrough the Arab
quarter which was abuzz in prepara-tion for the eveningrsquos upcoming fes-tivities Similar to breaking the fast on
Yom Kippur meals during Ramadanresemble celebratory feasts Walkingdown the narrow alleys past shopsselling spices and fabrics men hunglights above us as the evening set in
We could feel the change in atmo-sphere as we moved from the hubbubof the Arab Quarter into the relativecalm of the Jewish Quarter Soonwe arrived at the wall also known asthe Kotel Hosa Keanan and I put onkippot and Hallie and Sarina coveredthemselves with scarves
Leaning against the wall and pray-ing I turned back to check on theothers Surveying all the people
around him Hosa had the biggestgrin on his face a smile so contagiousyou couldnrsquot help but smile back
As we walked away Hosa told ushe wished he could take us up tothe Temple Mount right above sowe could experience the three holyplaces of the three Abrahamic reli-
gions however we hadnrsquot dressedappropriately and Hallie and Sarinawould have had to wait behindDeciding it would be best to staytogether we headed out of theOld City Looking back we saw theTemple Mount resting just above theKotel where we had just stood
We boarded the bus to Hosarsquoshouse in Ein Rafa for Ramadan dinnerThroughout his village lights werestrung illuminating the darkness Thefeeling was magical Stepping intoHosarsquos apartment his parents wel-comed us His mother had laid out adelicious meal of rice chicken vege-tables and an assortment of salads
We sat down to eat with Hosarsquosfamily Though their English wasspotty and we spoke no Arabic wedid our best to communicate usingEnglish words plenty of hand ges-tures and smiles
The food tasted amazing anwhenever any of us would finish ouplate Hosarsquos mother was ready witanother helping It felt like home
After dinner Hosa showed uaround the house In his room theris a big mural which he drew himselAmazed we asked to see more of h
work unaware our friend was suca talented artist Reaching under hbed he pulled out binders of artworand as we look through them a thembecame apparent Peace Every drawing every painting every sketch waof a dove of Palestinians and Jewtogether This is Hosarsquos dream
My visit to Ein Rafa was on June 29The next night the bodies of threJewish boys who had gone missintwo weeks earlier from a West Bansettlement were discovered Thtragedy would spark a war betweeHamas in Gaza and Israel just dayafter I had left the country Itrsquos harto believe I was with Hosa just a fewweeks ago that we toured the OlCity of Jerusalem together and tooin the sites Back home in SeattleI think of my friends every day anhope for peace
