As if the historical events were not enough, We are in the month of Av…a there is an intense and mercurial energy in the month beginning with a rapid descent to perhaps month of Av that seems to even be evident in the the most tragic date in our Jewish calendar, Tisha heavens. This month of Av holds within it two B'Av, the ninth of Av. It is often called the eclipses, one of which held the longest solar saddest and lowest day of the year…followed eclipse (6 minutes) of the century and the other, a only six days later with Tu B'Av, the most joyous lunar eclipse, is often associated with bizarre day of the year.

My mother commented that the beauty of the city was marred by the sight of soldiers with rifles everywhere she went. She then went on to explain that the Venezuelan soldiers were often used to enforce martial law and not for the protection of Venezuelan citizens. I always felt pride when I saw US military on American streets. Yet, I do not remember seeing them armed. When I was a court-appointed attorney representing civilians on an Air Force base just north of Los Angeles, the sights and sounds of US fighter jets flying above was a thrilling experience for me. Here in Israel, however, whenever I hear the jets flying over my home, I have mixed emotions. I am comforted by the fact that Israel's elite group of pilots are protecting me, but it concerns me that they must protect me! I often know when something is happening by the frequency of the takeoffs, the time of takeoff, how low they are flying, and how many planes are flying. I am constantly surrounded by young men and women in military garb. Their camaraderie and esprit de corps is exciting. It is also comforting to know that they also are here to protect me and my adopted country of Israel. It does not disturb me that they are armed with Uzis, rifles and automatic pistols. It makes me feel safe. They congregate on the streets wherever I go. They ride the buses with me. They are the sons and daughters of my friends, and in some cases are "lonely soldiers" who have come to Israel as immigrants from countries all over the world to volunteer to serve their adopted country of Israel. These "lonely soldiers" have no parents or siblings living in Israel. Yet, they have become the "children" of the entire country. Another sight is that of regular citizens walking on the streets with guns on their hips in plain view. No concealed weapons here! My immediate reaction when seeing this for the first time was "This is like the wild West!". It seemed so strange to view regular people dressed in religious clothing or in dress shirts and slacks on their way to work with a weapon in their waistband. Once on a bus I observed a man dressed in jeans, t- shirt and sandals with a rifle slung over his shoulder and an automatic weapon on his belt. I asked if he spoke English and in a thick NY accent he replied "yes". I asked why he was "carrying" and he explained that he had a special gun permit for protection because where he lives, Arabs attack and/or kill Jews. I think if I were in Venezuela I too would be apprehensive like my mother about seeing armed soldiers everywhere. But, being here in Israel, it is a good feeling. The last couple of attacks by terrorists against Israeli citizens were stopped by an armed off duty soldier and civilian shooting the terrorists. As I write this, I am on a bus on my way to work. Two soldiers are standing in the bus aisle next to my seat (the buses are crowded here). One is in an elite paratrooper unit. I can tell by the color of his boots and beret, and the wings pinned to his chest. He is armed with both a rifle and automatic weapon, The other soldier is in an elite unit that handles dogs that are used to sniff out explosives, bombs and drugs. I can tell by the patch hanging from an epaulet on his uniform shirt. It is interesting to note that this young man is religious, evident by his beard and the particular type of kipa (yarmulke) on his head. I feel so safe sitting next to these two soldiers. I often live vicariously through these brave young men and women whose service to their country have made my adopted nation of Israel the great nation that it has become in its short 61 years of existence. They have earned my respect, and make me proud to be an Israeli just as American military make me proud to be an American. L'hitraot. Shachar (Dawn) Ed.

Once school gets started and schedules become clear, we'll start meeting.

Just when Israel needs us most to act and speak out vigorously in its defense, I fear that many among us are questioning, if not doubting, some of the bedrock beliefs we've held about the Jewish state, including its actions and purpose. Israel is not faultless here. No state is. But examples abound of our enemies' ability to turn reality inside out, demonizing Israel as militarily immoral, and its political leaders as unwilling to make compromises for peace and unwilling to support a peace process that everyone knows is unworkable as long as Hamas controls Gaza. Equally disturbing is that such brazenly false charges have caused too many American Jews to feel embarrassment about Israel rather than outrage at the willful twisting of the truth. And with it, I sense a certain distancing within American Jewry regarding Israel's fate. Part of it is due to circumstances beyond our control, like the economic crisis that has caused the Jewish federation system to focus on domestic needs, leaving fewer dollars for Israel. The contraction of funds also could jeopardize the ability of projects like Birthright Israel to strengthen connections between young diaspora and Israeli Jews just when they are needed most. At a "community conversation" last week sponsored by UJA-Federation of New York and The Jewish Week, table discussions were held on the issues that the more than 200 participants felt were most important at this time of crisis. Of the 15 topics put forward, none dealt with Israel. I don't think that would have been the case a year or two ago. And then there was the murder of an Israeli teenager at the hand of an Arab terrorist last week. What was particularly sad about this latest tragic attack in Israel was that there didn't even seem to be much outrage among our own people when an innocent youngster was axed to death by a Palestinian 50 yards from the boy's home. The horrific killing in the West Bank community of Bat Ayin, in which a 7-year-old was also wounded, quickly became yesterday's headline, now almost forgotten. Is it because Shlomo Nativ, the victim, was a young "settler"? If the reaction was not exactly ho-hum, it certainly seemed to accept that such brutal killings of Jewish civilians, including children, are par for the course, and "pity, but what do you expect?" How sad that we've been dehumanized by our enemies. In the American media, far more attention focused on how right-wing and anti-peace the new Netanyahu government is. Never mind that the prime minister and even the allegedly racist foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, continue to confirm their commitment to seek peace with their Palestinian neighbors. And beyond that, Netanyahu has a track record of making peace agreements with the Palestinians as prime minister a decade ago. He may have held his nose when he ceded biblical territory around Hebron, but he did it. What sacrifice has any Palestinian leader made for peace? Doesn't anyone hold Palestinians accountable for continuing to praise killers of Jewish civilians as martyrs and taking no action against the terrorists? Political leaders should be judged by their actions more than anything else. That applies to Netanyahu, who has been in office as prime minister only a couple of weeks. Fortunately, the Obama administration seems to agree, and though there no doubt will be tensions between Washington and Jerusalem, there is every indication that the relationship is solid. 13 cont from p. 13 But it seems clear that efforts to undermine the very legitimacy of Israel, which began in intellectual quarters in Europe several years ago, have made their way to these shores. The Walt-Mearsheimer attack on "the Jewish lobby" as harmful to American interests has given way to calls for war crime trials against Israel for its military actions in Gaza last winter. Critics portray the Israeli army as the new Nazis, a cold-hearted killing machine when in fact it endangers its own soldiers in its efforts to avoid killing innocent Palestinians. What do we know of the countless civilians killed by American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan? Ignorance is, if not bliss, at least a sedative to the senses. Media blackouts have a way of sanitizing brutal warfare; just because we have no visual images of the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom in 1982, for example, does that mean that 900 people were not killed in battle? Mideast conflicts, though, are broadcast around the clock in the Arab media. Certainly Israel has been responsible for the deaths of innocents when at war against terrorists. But the IDF tries to avoid such killings, while for Hamas and Hezbollah the goal precisely is to murder Jewish women and children, and to hide among its own civilian population. Intentionality should count for something. And it's the matter of fairness and context that is so frustrating for those defending Israel. Political and military leaders in Jerusalem make the mistake of speaking of their "right" to take action when the real question should be whether those actions ultimately are in Israel's best interest. But that's a matter of strategy. At issue here is the growing notion that of all the nations in the world, only one should have its legitimacy questioned, criticized and, as some would have it, removed. Such criticism of Israel, and only Israel, is the very definition of 21st century anti-Semitism, and we must raise our voices now, before it is too late. American Jews on the fence about Israel should be reading a new book by Daniel Gordis, an author and senior vice president of the Shalem Center in Jerusalem. Entitled "Saving Israel: How the Jewish People Can Win a War That May Never End," it argues that the survival of the State of Israel is more important than peace and that the destiny of all Jews is linked with the Zionist homeland. Among his politically incorrect points are that waging war is an element of Jewish history and law, that self- defense is part of statehood and that power is as important as ethics — it's all about maintaining balance. "When the commitment to decency is so overwhelming that Jews grow fearful of defending themselves," Gordis writes, "Jews have actually abandoned the tenets of their tradition and have created a weak, almost pathetic, version of what Jewish life ought to be." In Jewish life, survival is a prime value, and that applies to the collective as well as the individual. It's a mitzvah to give of one's self for others, but not to lose one's head. So don't believe those who would say that willfully killing a youngster simply because he is a Jew is not an act of terror but an expression of political outrage. Say a prayer this Shabbat for the family of Shlomo Nativ, the latest victim of the kind of hatred that, we need to remind ourselves, is inhuman. 14 H MITZVAH Orthodox Jews launch 'kosher' search ENVELOPES engine Koogle omits religiously objectionable Rabbi Yocheved Mintz material such as sexual images -In honor of all the July birthdays & anniversaries JERUSALEM - Religiously devout Jews barred by PRAYER BOOK DEDICATIONS rabbis from surfing the Internet may now "Koogle" For $10.00 a prayer book can be dedicated "In it on a new "kosher" search engine, the site Memory" or "In Honor of" and a card from VOS manager said on Sunday. will be sent to the family.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Pope Benedict has said in a letter to La Republica, that he never attempted to cover up the sexual abuse of children in the Church. Benedict broke his post-retirement silence to write the important letter.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
9/25/2013 (10 months ago)
Published in Living Faith
Keywords: Pope Emeritus Benedict, health, retirement, Vatican, letter, child abuse, cover up, La Repubblica
ROME, ITALY (Catholic Online) - Pope Benedict responded to a series of questions by letter, sending a long reply to the editor of La Repubblica, Piergiorgio Odifreddi an outspoken atheist and mathematician.
The letter follows another to Odifreddi sent by Pope Francis. Both popes have responded to his inquiries in an unprecedented communication. Typically, popes are inaccessible to the media with most information being relayed by representatives and in writing.
For popes to respond with lengthy and detailed letters is seen to be a rare thing in modern times and could represent a shift in the way the Church handles criticism and inquiry, responding quickly and in detail to the media on important issues of concern to many people.
Benedict has been living in retirement since February, and following a stay at the Papal villa, he retired to a monastic life to end his days in prayer and contemplation, out of the public eye. He has kept this promise, although the letter to La Repubblica is a slight departure.
In responding to allegations that the Church may have covered up the abuses of priests, Benedict replied "As far as you mentioning the moral abuse of minors by priests, I can only, as you know, acknowledge it with profound consternation. But I never tried to cover up these things."
In 2010, Pope Benedict revised Church rules to make it easier to remove abusive priests and to protect children. He also met with victims and advocates on several occasions dating back to 2008. Benedict has never shied from the issue, no matter how embarrassing it has been for the Church.
Unfortunately, many people do not understand how the Catholic Church operates. It is the oldest single institution in modern existence. As the early Church spread beyond the Middle East into the world under the Roman Empire it also developed its administrative structure to serve a global communion of people knit together in local Dioceses throughout the world. The government of the Catholic Church does not govern a Nation, with lands and political institutions. Rather, it shepherds a flock, cares for a communion of believers joined by faith, creed, sacrament and way of life.
The Pope is the the Bishop of Rome and Successor of the Apostle Peter. He, in communion with all of the Bishops of the Church, pastorally governs the communion of the Church, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They also meet to resolve important pastoral matters entailed in governing the Church. Yes, there are structures in place which deal with every aspect of the life of the global Catholic Church, including Canon or Church Law and a process for enforcing that law.
The Church does move at a slower pace than the modern age of mass communication now expects. However, that slow and methodical approach - which may seem even glacial to modern outsiders - is also deliberate and spares the Church from hysteria and precipitous actions which can sometimes ensnare nation states.
Since the Church also oversees more than 1 billion followers, the pace at which issues can be addressed can appear to be slow. What appears to be a crisis can be just another day of the week in the life of a Church as she deals with multitudes of needs as well as many and varied crisis situations. The Church is no stranger to danger, to crisis, or to corruption. These things are always handled in their turn, even if larger, secular governments may move more quickly to address them in real time.
Every priest, as a citizen of their own nation, answers to their national justice institutions, which rightfully provide the first response to problems and any allegations of illegal activity. The Church also has an important role, but it is secondary to the immediate response that occurs locally.
The Church also has a duty not to obstruct justice when a crime is reasonably believed to have occurred. Recent Church reforms have focused on clarifying Church law so that those supervising priests and other clergy do not ever mistake their obligations of providing pastoral oversight to in any way ever obscure the absolute requirement of facing scandals, punishing crime and protecting victims.
Pope Francis has pledged the Church will take "decisive action" to deal with all issues relating to the abuse of children within the Church. Pope Emeritus Benedict did the same.

The Daily Item
MILTON — T-BIZ, or "Teen Business Innovation Zone", a 12 session teen entrepreneurial training program, will begin again at the TIME Jungle Teen Center on Wednesdays, March 19 through June 4 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. The free program is for middle and high school students and will teach teens how to run their own small business, called a "microbusiness". It will also teach them basic things about money, such as how to manage a checking account, how to use credit cards with caution, and how to make out a budget.
"A microbusiness is an excellent model for teens", said Lois Passi, who will teach this T-BIZ session. "The business is small, requires little to no start up funds, allows for flexibility, and can be brought to an end very easily. Examples include babysitting, offering music lessons or doing yard work. The business is small and manageable, yet it provides an opportunity for someone to learn the basics about how to run a business properly."
The TIME Jungle Teen Center features a snack bar and game room area and is located at 139 S. Front St., Milton. It is a program of TIME – The Improved Milton Experience.
To learn more about T-BIZ, contact Lois Passi at (570) 428-2844 or the TIME Jungle Teen Center at (570) 412-1653.

Let's say that we had two different bottles (brands) of fish oil sitting side-by-side. Each bottle had 1,000mg capsules. Are the capsules the same?
The answer is NO.
Here's why: With regard to omega-3, there are HUGE differences with regard to sources, quality, and quality. The best sources of omega-3 oil is from cold salt-water fish such as sardines,anchovies, and salmon. Warm water and fresh water fish are not considered acceptable sources of omega-3. Did we say that eating warm water fish and fresh water fish was bad? No, we did not. They just aren't good sources of omega-3.
With regard to quality, a lot has to do with the extraction process of the oil from its source, as well as the elimination of PCBs, dioxins, furans, PAHs, mecury,and of course, other heavy metals. You obviously want to remove the unwanted junk while still preserving the quality of the oil.
When it comes to the right amount, here is what you must know: At least, an average adult should be taking no less than 1,000 EPA per day. We did not say, "1000mg of omega-3 or fish oil per day." We speccifically mentioned EPA.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) is the heart and soul of fish oil. It , along with DHA(which is much more important for little ones and nursing moms), are what counts when it comes to omega-3. Two 1,000mg capsules may have very different levels of EPA. Some have as little as 70mg, and others have as much as 750mg. The point? Oil...is not oil...is not oil.
You have to know what to look for.

Harmony Muzik - Taerkey Bacon
Artist: Harmony Muzik
Producer: J-Scrilla
Album: Small Giant
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 7 total votes )
Like the title character of hit Showtime series Dexter, Harmony Muzik has a propensity for chopping up unsuspecting victims. Whereas Detective Morgan targets criminals, though, the Virginia emcee prefers to take her aggression out on dope instrumentals. The artist takes her Dexter fandom to the next level with new single Taerkey Bacon and its Bart Johnson-directed visuals, which pay homage to the program's iconic opening theme and credits. As she cuts an orange, paints her nails and straps on a nifty pair of heels, a murderous J-Scrilla production blasts in the background. Harmony spits with a confident, aggressive style to match the edgy boardwork, warning fellow ladies to keep their men firmly on lock. You can find this cut on her Small Giant album, which drops this summer and features the likes of Scolla, Honors English and Boog Brown.

Horror Coming Home: Zombie's Halloween II and Dead Snow
Information on when you can get your hands on two kind of underwhelming flicks that should have been a lot better dropped today. Zombie's psychobilly freak-out Halloween II and Tommy Wirkola's all too quirky zombie opus Dead Snow are both on their way!
According to Video ETA IFC Films will be dropping Dead Snow (which is currently available on Blockbuster DVD exclusively) onto DVD and Blu-ray on February 23, 2010. No special features have been announced.
Rob Zombie's Halloween II will be making its DVD and Blu-Ray debut on January 12, 2010. Yep, the alternate cut is on its way, and even though no special features have been announced, you can pretty much bet it will have a nice long documentary in tow. Say what you want about Zombie and his movies, the man knows how to treat fans with his DVD releases.
Look for more soon, including official specs and cover art.

The Chile earthquake -- at a magnitude of 8.8 -- was much stronger than the one that hit Haiti, but casualties and damages appear to be far less. Why?
How has the US become better prepared to forecast tsunamis?
A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck south-central Chile early Saturday morning, killing at least 85 people, knocking down buildings, homes and hospitals, and triggering a tsunami.
An 8.8 magnitude earthquake shook central Chile Saturday. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has issued a tsunami warning.
The sun rises on a cold winter morning in St. Moritz, Switzerland, on Feb. 21.
While there is still much work to be done, the security situation in Haiti has stabilized enough that some US forces will soon leave the country.
After several days seeing post-earthquake Haiti firsthand, Timberland's Swartz stumbles on the power of a CEO as witness.
The Northern Lights shimmer above the flight deck of the Royal Navy helicopter carrier HMS Ocean, the Royal Navy's largest warship, in the Fjords of Norway. HMS Ocean is operating in the region as part of the United Kingdom's Amphibious Task Group, conducting Exercise Cold Response, a multinational exercise conducted alongside the Norwegian Armed Forces.
Haiti doesn't need a Marshall Plan imposed by global elites. It needs improved conditions that empower all its people.
Experts in child kidnapping and global adoption hope that the Haiti incident involving American Baptist missionaries provides lessons for future disasters.

Top FARC commander surrenders in Colombia
Latest update : 2008-05-19
Nelly Avila Moreno, one of the highest-ranking female leaders of Colombia's Marxist rebel group, surrendered to police on Sunday. President Alvaro Uribe had urged her to give herself up in exchange for security guarantees. (Report: B.Harris)
One of the top-ranking women leaders of Colombia's Marxist FARC guerrillas, Nelly Avila Moreno alias Karina, has turned herself in, a police source told AFP.
Authorities say Karina, who led the 47th Front until her surrender Sunday in Argelia, was considered one of the most violent female leaders of Latin America's longest-running insurrection.
In March, rebel Pablo Montoya — who was under Katrina's command — decided to kill rebel chief Ivan Rios and turn himself in to collect a reward.
President Alvaro Uribe had urged Karina to surrender in exchange for security guarantees.
