Ellen and Stuart Lessans Name the Book Festival
A November to Remember
By Andrea Kronzek Brad Stillman, JCCGW president, reflects on Stuart's kindness in making this meaningful gift to the Center: "Stuart is a thoughtful and generous person who recognizes and appreciates the unique and important value of Jewish culture in linking our community's past with its future." "I have always thought the JCCGW Book Festival was a fabulous event. It's such a high-level program that the whole community can be proud of," Stuart states. "My wife Ellen and I are so thrilled to now have our family name associated with it." The JCCGW is honored that the Lessans family has chosen to support the Center and those we serve in this way. CEO Michael Feinstein states, "We are profoundly grateful to Dr. Lessans and his family for their generosity and commitment. His gift combines a wonderful and appropriate tribute to his family with an enduring benefit to the community."

making a gift to an organization that they would wholeheartedly approve of," Stuart explains. He and Ellen also wanted to honor their children, twins Faye and Matthew, who are 7th graders at the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School and are active participants in many JCCGW programs and activities. "What could be a finer The Lessans Family Annual Book Festival, environment for them?" now in its 44th year, is one of the largest Jewish Community Center book festivals in Ellen is a clinical psychologist in private the United States.

He now works as "Mr. Mom" from the community each year. This year's to Faye and Matthew, who look forward to festival will be held November 8-17.

"I wanted to honor the memory of my before the opening of the Book Festival. wonderful parents, whose commitment to "This month is probably the most exciting family and community was limitless, by November I have ever had!" remarks Stuart. One of Dr. Stuart Lessans' most vivid childhood memories is of his father reading poignant stories to him and his sisters, Dana and Carole. "Dad's tears would be flowing, and we would also cry," he recalls, illustrating the powerful effect that words can have on the human spirit. How fitting, then, that Stuart and his devoted wife Ellen have chosen to name the JCCGW's book festival, an annual celebration of the literary arts. This longstanding and always muchanticipated event is now called The Lessans Family Annual Book Festival in honor of Ellen and Stuart's children and in loving memory of Stuart's parents, Sara and Samuel J. Lessans.

Thankful for a Culture of Inclusiveness Message from JCCGW President Brad Stillman In the United States, the month of November is a time when our thoughts turn to thankfulness for our country and our community, as well as the many opportunities they provide us in terms of living rich and fulfilling lives. (This is, of course, in addition to many being thankful for the invention of American football.) Perhaps it is appropriate then that this year, Chanukah coincides with Thanksgiving Day for the first time ever (and which won't happen for approximately another 79,000 years). In many ways, both holidays stem from the desire to hold on to and freely pursue religious beliefs—with a few miracles thrown in for good measure. The Pilgrims sought religious freedom in the New World, and the Maccabees fought against efforts to outlaw the practice of Judaism. In our modern world in this community where religious freedom is secure, one of the other things we can be most thankful for is the culture of inclusiveness that is part of the foundation of our JCC.

The JCCGW: a True Center for Our Community Focus on Board Member Nathan Bortnick As the JCCGW celebrates its centennial this year, we reflect on the visionary leaders who have established and sustained the Center as a vital and thriving hub of our community. This article is the third in a three-part series of interviews focusing on our new generation of leaders—our youngest board members.
Center catered to my every need. In fact, I can even still recall a few of my summer counselors, who I now see at the Center dropping off their children for camp! When I came back to this area after college, I realized the JCCGW was more than just a fun place to be. It provided a sense of comfort when I returned after graduation and began playing basketball in the gym on a regular basis. I began to take notice that the JCCGW truly serves as the center for the Jewish community.
What is your history with the Center and with the JCCGW Board? As far back as I can remember, the JCCGW has played a significant role in my life. Having attended Rebecca Bortnick and JCCGW Board the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day Member Nathan Bortnick In 2011, I was asked to join the School, the Center was a popular hangout during board by [JCCGW immediate past president] Scott my early school years. My friends and I would Cohen and gladly accepted.

programming for young professionals, such as a successful shakshuka (popular Israeli dish) cookoff which gathered 20 young professionals at the JCCGW for a "Top Chef" competition, as well as "Bagels & Billy Goats," an event which consisted of 40 young professionals hiking along the Billy Goat Trail at Great Falls, stopping along the way to socialize and enjoy bagels together. I have also been involved with the JCCGW Golf and Tennis Tournament and the Dinner of Champions. Both events are meaningful to me, as proceeds benefit exceptional programming such as senior adult programs and our nationally-recognized inclusion program. What do you see as the value of the Center to young Jewish professionals? The Center serves as a home to young professionals, offering both social and professional career activities. It provides a platform for all, whether seeking networking opportunities or looking to schmooze with singles or other young professionals, or perhaps both. The Center attracts individuals sharing a common bond, seeking an array of desires, and caters to all.

ShalomLearning: Jewish Education for Everyone also offered at several local synagogues, provides 3rd-6th graders the opportunity to discover the connections between their secular lives and their Jewish identity. Using seven different Jewish values—including gevurah, or being strong enough to do the right thing, and achrayut, recognizing our responsibility to heal the world—ShalomLearning ties modern examples to Bible stories, Israel and other Jewish events. In class, it's common to discuss online bullying, Spiderman and Joseph, all in one conversation. The pluralistic approach works well for many Jewish families, especially those with busy afterschool schedules. ShalomLearning at the JCCGW is particularly attractive to families who do not yet belong to a synagogue. Classes are held on Sundays; however, once a month families get a break from the carpool as students attend class In September, we began our second year of online. They all see, hear and interact with each ShalomLearning, a new, engaging Jewish education other—just in a virtual classroom rather than a program held at the JCCGW. This program, which is
traditional one. "Homework" consists of going to a secure site and watching relevant movies or participating in discussion boards. By incorporating technology into the program, students are more engaged and excited. "For Jesse, being able to prepare for classes and participate using a computer is really great. He's one of those kids who just enjoys being online and exploring," said Candice Siegel about her 4th grade son, who returned to the program this fall. Like most of the other ShalomLearning students at the JCCGW, Jesse did not participate in any type of formal Jewish education prior to enrolling. "We're happy we now have a place we feel comfortable. I can't wait for my other boys to be old enough." To find out more, please visit www.shalomlearning. com or call 301.660.3800.
SUPPORT Saturday, November 23 | 7 p.m. Cocktails, Dinner, Awards Ceremony and More!
Please join us for the 22nd Annual Dinner of Champions An All-Star Celebration! Chaired by Anita & Arthur Polott and Heather & Andrew Sachs, the event honors those who have achieved success in the world of sports, and those who have made extraordinary contributions to our community. The Dinner of Champions raises the vital funds needed each summer to support Camp JCC's nationallyrecognized inclusion program which benefits not only children with special needs, but also typically-developing children. We are able to offer children with a wide range of disabilities a wonderful camp experience because we provide one-to-one counselor support, adaptive equipment, lift-equipped buses and whatever else they need so that they can fully participate in every activity. Families of children in the inclusion program do not pay any more than the typical camper, despite the fact that it costs the JCCGW almost three times as much to provide the additional services. In order for the JCCGW to cover the cost of these additional services, we rely on the generous support of our community. This year, Jeffrey Z. Slavin will receive the Irene and Abe Pollin Humanitarian Award. Mark Ein, Edward Bernard Kahnz"l, Joe Yasharoff, Rachel Chernikoff Zang and Julie Zetlin will be inducted into the Greater Washington

We are very honored to serve as co-chairs for this year's Dinner of Champions. We are Camp JCC parents who have been touched by the uniqueness and magic of Camp JCC, though in different ways. Arthur and Anita have typical campers (not in the inclusion program) who have benefitted from the diversity of the camp and who have become more empathetic and sensitive to the challenges that some of their camp friends face. Andrew and Heather have a child in the inclusion program who has benefitted from the opportunity to play and learn alongside her typically-developing peers and to flourish in this supportive and loving environment. We have come together to get the message out that EVERYONE— ALL campers, staff, and our community as a whole— benefits from the Camp JCC Inclusion Program. We hope you will join us at the Dinner of Champions to celebrate this wonderful program and, if you cannot attend the dinner, that you will support the Inclusion Program in other ways — through buying raffle tickets, sponsorships or tribute book advertisements, or just by making a simple donation. Thank you in advance for all of your support!

Standing Up: A Memoir of a Funny (Not Always) Life An Interview with Author MARION GRODIN
What role has Judaism played in your career as a comedian? The role of Judaism in my comedy is huge, in that my entire sensibility is very Jewish. And by that I mean, warm, open, soulful... everything wonderful Jewish people are. Also, I get booked frequently by Jewish organizations, so the role of Judaism in my comedy has a lot to do with making sure my bills are paid! Our people keep me working!
Daughter of funnyman Charles Grodin, Marion Grodin will keep the audience in stitches as she kicks off this year's book festival at a preopening comedy night on Thursday, November 7 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 for members and $20 for the general public, and can be purchased online at jccgw.org, by visiting the box office, or by calling 301.348.3805. Marion knows first-hand that laughter truly is the best medicine. A stand-up comedian and screenwriter who has appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, she will talk about her diverse and often challenging life experiences (including a huge crush on actor Jeff Bridges!) with hilarity, wit and lots of charm.
on both sides of my family. I found out a few years ago that my dad's grandfather was actually a Talmudic scholar who was known for "making the Torah humorous." How could I NOT be funny, coming from those genes! How did you get your start? I got my start one hot summer night onstage at Standup NY, the comedy club a few blocks from my apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I was only on stage for five minutes. I got huge laughs. I called my dad the second I got off stage. I told him I did really well, and I just hoped the sensation that I might be having a heart attack would abate soon. And it did...about a year later!
This event is sponsored by Bruce, Paula and How would you describe your comedic Debra Robinson, Harold and Shirley Robinson style? My comedic style is affectionately edgy, Philanthropic Fund. extremely self-revealing, highly interactive When did you first realize that you had a with the audience, and chock full of improv! I love this way of doing comedy. It makes the gift for comedy? I probably always knew I was funny. After all, experience so personal and immediate for the I'm from a long line of DEEPLY funny people audience!

And this would be a very incomplete answer if I did not just say what we all know—Jews are funny...really funny! So, I definitely credit my being Jewish with being inextricably tied to how funny I am, especially given the long tradition of "funny" in my family....dating back to my great grandfather (i.e., the Talmudic scholar who was known for making the Torah humorous!). Other than your father, who has influenced you the most in your career? In addition to my dad, I've definitely been influenced by Lenny Bruce, Jonathan Winters, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock... entertainers who tell the truth, often about very painful things, and get you to laugh uncontrollably while they do it! How has humor helped you during the "not always" funny moments in your life? We all know that laughter truly is the best medicine. I can't tell you how many times I've thanked God, out loud, for allowing me to see the humor in everything!
The Kass Judaic Library will be closed October 1 through November 19 for Book Festival preparations. Books may be returned to the front desk during that time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Toby created and facilitates the JCCGW men's discussion group.

- 127.0.0.1 anchorfree.net
- 127.0.0.1 rss2search.com
- 127.0.0.1 techbrowsing.com
- 127.0.0.1 box.anchorfree.net

- [ Setup ] Install 'HSS-6.0.4-install-plain-714-plain.exe' and you'd better exit the program completely (go to Task Manager and use "End process tree" to end all Hotspot Shield related processes – right click on 'HSSCP.exe'), but not necessary always
- [Update] Run the update package file 'HSS-6.20.10-nodrv-update' as administrator
- Wait for Hotspot Shield updated version to launch, then exit it completely again
- [ Patch ] Run the unlock patch 'Hss_Elite.exe' as administrator and apply (it might be falsely reported as PUP: Win32:PUP-gen [PUP] threat with low-security)
- All done, enjoy!
*** If you get an error while opening the program, just click "FIX IT NOW".
*** Just ignore any trial message or something similar, your status is still elite.
// Prompts //
BTW, Hotspot Shield VPN has been totally blocked in many countries, like China. That's to say, it will never work on your side.

A Drosera is a plant-like enemy, fought in the Treetop Tower and the Arcadian Tower. A sub-variety is in each tower with a slightly different name, but nearly no differences (Treetop: Drosera Minenwerfer and Arcadian: Drosera Nebelwerfer). It spits a group of three seeds at you when you are within range. They are extremely weak, and will usually die after one hit or one yank of the Oraclos Chain. They can often be defeated without even pulling, dieing the second you grapple them. They are, however, rather annoying when there is a group of them or when you are trying to focus on a stronger enemy. It is recommended that these be dealt with before tackling the larger monsters.

NASA spacecraft have captured the imagination of millions of Earthlings as they blast off into the furthest reaches of outer space, but now a lack of plutonium fuel could spell the end of the space program.
The problem is there's not much plutonium fuel left on Earth. The fuel is only made as a by-product of nuclear weapons manufacture and since the Cold War ended neither Russia nor the U.S. has been making it.
NASA only has enough of the precious fuel left to last till the end of the decade.

You can help us by changing it.
A Zanpaku-to is a sword containing a spirit representing its weilder's soul. On BZPower, it has been featured in Shadonix's Comics, although it originally appeared in Bleach.
Zanpaku-to, as seen in Shadonix's Comics are weapons of those with high spiritual energy. Each Zanpaku-to is a embodiment of the wielder's soul and power, and are actually living beings which can only be seen by its wielder. The Zanpaku-to's name is the name of the spirit that empowers the sword. Zanpaku-to vary greatly in appearance and ability, based on the qualities of their wielder's soul.
Obtaining a Zanpaku-To
The wielder of a Zanpaku-to has a deep connection with the Zanpaku-to's spirit. However, when one first obtains a Zanpaku-to, the the wielder is unable to fully hear the spirit. It is common for the introduction of the two to take place while the wielder sleeps.
When someone obtains a Zanpaku-to, they learn its name and become able to "activate" it. This activated ability is called the Shikai, the first of two levels of activation. When a Zanpaku-to is changed into its Shikai form, what is actually being seen is the true form of the weapon.
Depending upon the wielder's ability to communicate with and control their Zanpaku-to's spirit, a Zanpaku-to can manifest itself in two additional forms and revert to a sealed state. These two forms, Shikai and Bankai, are "upgrades" for the Zanpaku-to, giving it abilities beyond that of a sword. People usually carry their Zanpaku-to in the sealed state and activate the released forms as necessary.
There are several types of Zanpaku-to, classified by the main effect of their special abilities. These types include:
- Melee-Type: based around direct melee combat.
- Kido-Type: based around special abilities.
- Projectile-Type: when released becomes a projectile that the owner can control freely.
- Defense-Type: based around defensive techniques rather than offensive ones.
- Poison-Type: designed to generate and administer poison as a form of attack.
- Illusion-Type: designed around the ability to generate and manipulate perceptions via illusions.
Elemental Sub-Type
Many Zanpaku-to are classified by elements, generally using their elements as forms of attack. Elemental Zanpaku-to are all Kido-syb-type with an element base.
- Fire: generate and manipulate fire for various forms of attack or defense.
- Ice: generate water and manipulate it into ice (and related effects) for various forms of attack or defense.
- Earth: manipulate the ground for various forms of attack or defense.
- Wind: manipulate wind for various forms of attack or defense.
- Water: to generate and manipulate water (and related effects) for various forms of attack or defense.
- Plant: generate and manipulate plants for various forms of attack or defense.
- Light: to generate and manipulate light for various forms of effects.
- Electricity: generate and manipulate electricity (and related effects) as a form of attack.
- Zanpaku-to regenerate when damaged.
- The size of a Zanpaku-to is a reflection of the wielder's spiritual power.
- Every Zanpaku-to has its own name.

Technology / Computers / Parallel Port: A parallel interface for connecting an external device such as a printer. Most personal computers have both a parallel port and at least one serial port. On PCs, the parallel port uses a 25-pin connector (type DB-25) and is used to connect printers, computers and other devices that need relatively high bandwidth. It is often called a Centronics interface after the company that designed the original standard for parallel communication between a computer and printer. (The modern parallel interface is based on a design by Epson.) A newer type of parallel port, which supports the same connectors as the Centronics interface, is the EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) or ECP (Extended Capabilities Port). Both of these parallel ports support bi-directional communication and transfer rates ten times as fast as the Centronics port. Macintoshes have a SCSI port, which is parallel, but more flexible.
Parallel Noun Synonyms: analogue, match, homologue, equivalent, complement, counterpart, equal, coequal
Parallel Adjective Synonyms: similar, corresponding, congruent, analogous, analogic(al), correspondent, like, matching, homologous, coordinate, equivalent, coequal, proportional, proportionate, pari passu, mutatis mutandis, in proportion, uniform, contemporary or cotemporary
Port Noun Synonyms: harbor, haven, seaport, mooring, anchorage, refuge
Technology / Computers / Serial Port: A port, or interface, that can be used for serial communication, in which only 1 bit is transmitted at a time. Most serial ports on personal computers conform to the RS-232C or RS-422 standards. A ser MORE

Corvus Energy has been awarded both 'Supplier of the Year' and 'Innovation of the Year' at the 2017 Electric & Hybrid Marine Awards being held at the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo. This is the third consecutive year that Corvus has received the Supplier of the Year award and a first time win for Innovation of the Year. The award recipients are decided upon by a panel of highly regarded industry experts.
"Battery technology is at the heart of electric and hybrid marine propulsion technology. Corvus is a true leader in this area and its growth and achievements in 2016 serve as a reminder of how important this company continues to be", said awards panel judge Martyn Lasek, editor, Ship & Bunker.
The awards were presented to Willie Wagen, Corvus Energy Global VP of Sales & Marketing and Managing Director of Europe, on the final day of another very successful Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo taking place in Amsterdam. "The team at Corvus is very pleased to have been selected once again as Supplier of the Year and extremely proud to have also been awarded Innovation of the Year for the industry leading Orca ESS", said Wagen. Adding, "over a year ago Corvus set out to design and develop the world's best energy storage system. The result of that was Orca ESS, the safest, highest performing, and most cost effective ESS for all-electric and hybrid applications. Orca ESS is accelerating the transition to electrification for many operators and ship owners. No other firm understands this technology and industry better than Corvus and we have the greatest number of installations & upcoming projects to prove it."
Further recognition from awards judges: "Corvus' exceptional growth and high spending on R&D merit recognition for a third consecutive year as the company's innovative solutions, and especially the Orca ESS, gain rapid acceptance among customers" - Jack O'Connell, senior editor, The Maritime Executive.
Following the successful launch of Orca ESS at the Electric & Hybrid Marine World Expo one year ago, Corvus has won over 2 dozen new projects totalling over 15MWh that will utilize Orca ESS. In total, Corvus Energy has deployed 70+ installations with over 43MWh installed and now exceeding 1 million operating hours. Corvus has unsurpassed experience and knowledge that enables revolutionary innovation.
"Corvus has shown again why it is at the forefront of one of the fastest-growing maritime sectors. An impressive performance that bodes well for the future for the company", concluded Rich Miller, managing editor, Professional Mariner and American Ship Review.

Pastor Tony Smith tells the truth about Michael Brown, whether you agree or not. The youngster stole cigars and put his hands on an elder, which was not only theft, but disrespect. Of course, we feel very bad what happened, but young people these days are disrespectful and parents should be honest about it. Even the teen who was with him was an accessory, because he took the cigars when Brown allegedly handed it him, according to the previous video we showed you. Now, a lot of you black people these days get mad when the truth is told, but this is why we cannot get anywhere, simply because the majority of our people just won't do right and accept discipline. Also, there's a lot of division in the race, because a lot of parents refuse to make the children take responsibility for their own actions. God wants black people to accept the truth and abide by His Word and make their children follow it. Your children should not be getting away with disrespecting their elders and if they get murdered, it's because of their rebellion and your neglect to raise the right, most of the time.

Simon & Andreas
First time we worked with Karen and Chris as our real estate agents was three years ago when we purchased our first home (a condo in Glen Park). As first time home buyers they did an amazing job educating us and making this an awesome experience for us. When we decided earlier in the year to sell the condo we bought three years ago it was clear to us that we wanted to work with them again, now as a first time seller. Since we worked with them the first time Cherie joined their team and they are now a powerhouse of three which is beneficial as buyer or seller in so many ways. Chris is the master of paperwork - trust me there is a lot of paperwork but if you work with Chris you do not have to worry about it at all. Chris handhold's you the entire way and no questions or clarifications are too much for him. Karen and Cherie on the other side are the visual, pricing and marketing experts on the team. It blew us away how they can walk into a space and tell you how it will present the best, what you could do with a place, what the price range should be and point out pro's and con's. They are truly a dream team, considering the decisions you make when buying or selling a place have such a huge impact on your life and financials, they make the entire process a great experience and keep your stress level to a minimum.
And here is our story working with them as our seller's agent. We just closed the sale of our condo we bought three years ago with a 50% gain on our original purchase price and 33% over asking price after being on the market for less than two weeks. Although it is a given that the San Francisco housing market is absolutely insane at the moment, we are fairly certain our returns would not have been as good and the transaction could have been longer and more stressful in the process had we not had such awesome seller agents. What we especially liked on the selling side, was how confident they were in making suggestions, specifically when it came down to list price, staging, disclosure presentation and sell approach - four of the most crucial aspects of the process in our opinion. They certainly had their thoughts about what worked best and what would sell the fastest/most efficiently through their years of experience. Some of our decisions we had to make were a bit nerve-wracking (i.e. spending money on the staging and fixing up the place), but they knew the market and had the data to back it up. It wasn't like we were expected to blindly follow their suggestions but was a huge help to make the right decisions. They clearly know their business and by us following their guidance it certainly paid off!!! At the end, we ended up receiving a couple offers well above asking, and well above our expectations! It was exhilarating and unbelievable, especially the best offer that we received which we ultimately accepted.
Reading other reviews here, and I know this will probably sound repetitive, but they are utterly the most responsive, knowledgeable, coordinated, and just pleasant people you could ever meet and work with. This was certainly true for the buy-side, but we think it was even more pronounced on the sell-side with their organization, coordination, and communication in the whole process. It was almost every day that we would hear some update as soon as we got into contract. Even before then, they had setup a calendar for us, from start to finish, which was amazingly executed. This made things so much easier and PREDICTABLE, which led to no unpleasant surprises in the process. If any surprises came about, it came from us (the sellers), for which Chris, Karen and Cherie gladly accommodated for. Again, thanks for that, you guys are awesome and we look forward working with you again to find and buy our next home!
