Bing Crosby's wine cellar yields long-lost film of 1960 World Series
Sep 25, 2010 at 13:15 »
NEW YORK -- Bing Crosby often found himself dreaming of the Pittsburgh Pirates, too, even while on vacation in Paris during the 1960 World Series.
His zealous support and superstition wound up being a good thing for baseball fans: Found in his wine cellar was film of the deciding Game 7, in which Pirates second baseman Bill Mazeroski hit a game-ending homer to beat the New York Yankees, that was thought to be lost forever.
The New York Times reported in a story published in Friday's editions that the complete NBC broadcast had been discovered in Crosby's longtime home in Hillsborough.
The silver-tongued crooner, whose recording of "White Christmas" has sold millions of copies worldwide, was part owner of the baseball team from 1946 until his death in 1977. But the avid sportsman was such a nervous wreck watching the Pirates that when they played the Yankees in the World Series, he went on a European vacation with his wife, Kathryn.
"He said, 'I can't stay in the country. I'll jinx everybody,'" Crosby's widow said.
It was thought that one of the greatest games ever played had survived only through radio broadcasts, grainy photographs and the written word. Then in December, while Robert Bader was combing through tapes and reels of Crosby's old TV specials, the vice president of Bing Crosby Entertainment stumbled across two gray canisters in a pile stretching to the ceiling.
They were labeled "1960 World Series" and looked as though they hadn't been touched in years. An hour of searching revealed three more reels.
Bader screened the 16-millimeter film and realized it was the complete broadcast of Game 7, with the Yankees' Mel Allen and Pirates' Bob Prince calling the action. The conditions of the wine cellar -- cool and dry -- meant that the film had survived in pristine condition.
"I had to be the only person to have seen it in 50 years," Bader said. "It was pure luck."
Crosby couldn't bear to watch the game live, although he did listen by radio while in Paris, so he had hired a company to record the broadcast by kinescope. The early relative of DVR meant that he could go back and watch the 2-hour, 36-minute game later if the Pirates won.
The five reels have since been transferred to DVD, and fans will get a chance to view the game during the offseason on the MLB Network. Bob Costas is set to host the special, which will include interviews with former players and other additional programming.
"Bing Crosby was away ahead of his time," said Nick Trotta, senior library and licensing manager of Major League Baseball Productions, the sport's archivists. "It's a time capsule."
The game at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh that October day was filled with high drama.
The Pirates scored four runs in the first two innings off Yankees starter Bob Turley, then watched New York score a run in the fifth and four more in the sixth, when Yogi Berra's home run gave the Yankees the lead. Two more runs in the eighth made it 7-4.
Pittsburgh rebounded with five runs in the bottom half, pulling ahead on Hal Smith's three-run homer, before New York tied the game in the ninth on a heads-up baserunning play by Mickey Mantle that allowed Gil McDougald to cross the plate.
Minutes later, Mazeroski stepped into the batter's box leading off the ninth inning. With one ball and no strikes, he connected with Ralph Terry's pitch and drove the ball over the left field wall. The Pirates poured out of the dugout, the Yankees stood in disbelief, and Mazeroski rounded the bases after the first game-ending home run to win a World Series.
Only later did Crosby get to see the spectacle unfold, in the comforts of his own home.
"It was such a unique game to begin with," said the Pirates' Dick Groat, the 1960 league MVP who will turn 80 in November but remembers the game as if it happened yesterday. "It was back and forth, back and forth. It was unbelievable."
Almost as unbelievable as finding the long-lost film of it in a wine cellar.
Honesty is something you can't wear out.

Researchers led by Dr. Paul Thompson, a UCLA professor of neurology, conducted brain scans on 398 young, healthy people ages 20 to 30. Those participants who carried a particular gene mutation that is known to raise the risk of Alzheimer's — linked to the CLU gene — had unique characteristics in white matter (the bundles of nerve cells) in multiple brain regions, including in some areas known to become damaged in Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest that changes in myelin, the substance that protects nerve cells, may be a sign of increased risk of developing the disease later in life.
"Alzheimer's has traditionally been considered a disease marked by neuronal cell loss and widespread gray matter atrophy," Thompson said in a news release. "But degeneration of myelin in white matter fiber pathways is more and more being considered a key disease component and another possible pathway to the disease, and this discovery supports that."
People who have this particular mutation in the CLU — which is common — aren't doomed to develop Alzheimer's disease, the authors noted. And young people who have these changes in white matter are not cognitively impaired. But knowledge about this genetic risk could be used to help prevent the disease later in life, the authors said.

The United States Post Office has established a rule that all standard (bulk) mail addresses must be updated against their national database of current addresses within 95 days prior to mailing. This means that any mailing processed to take advantage of the cheaper Standard Mail pricing must have all addresses purified using one of several different methods. Mailings sent without this address cleansing will be subject to adjusted charges and penalties.
The primary reason the post office is giving for this change is their attempt to reduce the amount of undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) mail that they process every year. In 2004, the USPS handled 9.7 billion pieces of UAA mail at a cost of $1.8 billion (source: May/June 2008 issue of MailPro). The change, formally called Move Update, will remove a significant amount of UAA mail from the mail stream. It will also reduce the amount of postage the University wastes annually due to out of date addresses.
What this means for the University's mail procedures is that we must require any mailing sent via the lower standard mail rates to have been cleansed through any of the processes prior to arriving at the Mail Center. This does not affect regular first class mailings. Feel free to continue to mail these as you would normally. In November, we issued a new Postal Form that includes an area for departments to sign off on the address updating procedures used on a mailing. Without this signature, we will not be able to process standard mail.
A number of methods to meet the new Move Update Standards exist:
For more information on the Move Update process, go to:
Please read up on these processes using the above link if you plan on mailing anything with discounted Standard mail rates. Each department should become familiar with these standards and use the method that best works for them. As each department manages its own address databases, each will be responsible for choosing which method works best for them.
We will not be able to do any Standard mailing without having first met these requirements.
If you have more questions than these sites can answer, please feel free to call the Mail Center at any time (4193). We will work with you to help you determine the best way to lower the University's postage costs. We also have information on a few programs that do this address cleansing. There are many out there.

Ever wonder what the smart money is doing in the markets? You don't need to pay big bucks to find out. Just read the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's free weekly Commitments of Traders report. The CFTC's COT data is a Holy Grail of market info, listing trillions of dollars in positions in 200+ markets – gold, crude oil, natural gas, silver, forex, equity indexes and lots more. My trading system, which I continue to refine, gives me weekly buy and sell signals based on the COT trader data.

Your analysis on the depth of the market is interesting. I wanted to know if you are using only excel for your signals or another graphical tool? - January 25, 2012 at 4:37 PM

Hi guys,
Thanks for your kind words. Yes, Nancy, I am using Excel for signals and for much of the backtesting.

Packable Backpack
Great day bag
This backpack fits the bill for a small, lightweight, packable bag to carry while touring. It's just the right size for an extra sweater, umbrellas, water bottles. It is very lightweight, yet durable, inside and out pocket for small items. We've just used it on our first trip since buying and it really fits the bill for a packable lightweight pack. Great product !
November 15, 2013
Great Design
This lightweight, though well-made, little invention looks promising. I've not used it yet but will be putting it to the test for a month in January. If it exceeds or doesn't meet my expectations, I'll report back. In the meantime, a good buy.
November 12, 2013
Very Handy
This literally folds up to a little package that you can throw in your suitcase. It unfolds to a nice sized backpack, complete with shoulder straps, pockets for your water bottle and the inside is roomy. I am using it for going to the local Farmer's Market for produce in Mexico, shopping, and bike riding.
September 12, 2013
Light weight pack
Pack was very light weight, a little flimsy but it did what we purchased it for. Loved the smaller zipper pouch, easy access to frequently used items. There is one diver in pack if you wish to separate things. An iPad fits ion one side of the diver nicely.
July 11, 2013
A couple of things I like
OK, we have good metal zippers and great rip stop nylon but the thing that sells me is the straps. I have day packs that the straps don't shorten enuf and the pack hangs uncomfortably. One thing about backpacking you learn quickly is the pack must ride correctly...whether a heavy pack or light pack. This pack also has a cross body strap which keeps the shoulder straps from slipping off. I like this added feature. Nice small pocket and larger zip pocket. All can zip up inside itself into a small lump! Good colors, too.
August 13, 2012
Happy with purchase
Very compact and light. Easy to carry and open when needed.
July 8, 2013
The backpack is light weight and did the job it was bought for. Too bad it is not waterproof.
June 6, 2013
This One Works!
I ordered this backpack as well as the Eagle Creek in order to see which one DH prefers for travel. He chose this one because of its light weight, packability, bottle holders on each side...and...it actually holds his MacBook Pro laptop! We travel abroad a lot and are often searching for wifi hotspots, so with the ability to carry a full-sized laptop and water, as well as much more, the backpack here fits the bill!

Illinois Governor Quinn, Speaker Madigan Backroom Deal Caught on Video
When Chicago voters returned Pat Quinn to his job as Governor of Chicago, they knew he wanted to increase their income taxes from 3% to 4%. That's not much for most of his supporters, who accept a government check of one sort or another. But shortly after winning reelection, he let it be known that a 33% increase was not enough, if his public sector | Read More »

A couple suspected of a home invasion near Waugh Road in Ross County has been captured in Kettering, Ohio.
Just prior to 4pm, Friday, a passerby noticed that something wasn't right at a residence on State Route 138, in the area of Waugh Road, in Ross County. She reportedly saw a strange car in a driveway and noticed the garage door was open, so she went to the neighbor's house for help.
The neighbor, Ken Crago, seeing she was upset said he got in his truck and followed her back to the house to investigate.
Crago said he noticed an older model gold Cadillac parked in the driveway as he approached the home. Before he could park his truck, he said a woman inside the vehicle slid over to the drivers seat, put the car in gear, and drove through the yard and onto the road.
He was able to park his truck and get out but found himself face to face with a man who had come around the side of the house. The man was reportedly pointing a handgun at him. Pulling his own gun from his truck and pointing it at the man, Crago said the man was startled and started making his way very quickly toward the gold Cadillac, which was now out on the road.
As Crago jumped back into his pickup and backed out onto the road, the man caught up with the Cadillac and jumped inside. Crago said both vehicles sped off on St. Rt. 138 headed west toward Greenfield.
According to Crago, the man emerged from the car and point the handgun at him; he watched him fire a shot at his truck as he was following the car.
"Things happen so fast that you really don't realize what is going on. I just tried to weave back and forth so he couldn't get a lock on me," Crago said. "He shot at me twice as we were driving. [The passerby] (name withheld) was right behind me the whole time. Neither one of us were hit by the bullets. We were very lucky today."
Crago said he lost site of the car as it passed Blain Lane headed west on 138 near the village of Greenfield. He stated he could not keep up with it, so he drove into Greenfield and filed a report with the Greenfield Police Department.
It is unclear whether the car ever entered the Village of Greenfield.
What is clear, however, is that after a message was sent out to law enforcement agencies in surrounding counties and descriptions of the car and suspects were included, the suspects were spotted and arrested in Kettering, Ohio.
A call to the Kettering Police Department turned up no names of the suspects, Friday. Those names, according to the dispatcher, will likely be released on Monday morning. She stated that there is an ongoing investigation, and she could not give out any further information.
Crago confirmed that the police department called his house late Friday and informed him that they had captured the suspects in Kettering. Reportedly, several firearms and jewelry was recovered from the vehicle.
When asked his thoughts on looking down the barrel of a gun and the chaos of the day, Crago stated, "Your adrenaline starts flowing and you don't realize the danger until it's over. They you wonder, 'Did I do this or that right?' I look after things around here. You know your neighborhood and what is supposed to be where. I'm just glad that nobody got hurt, today."
The Ross County Sheriff's Department is investigating the incident.

It's pretty much the norm that brides start thinking about their bodies once the wedding date is set. It's the one day in their lives that they want to look perfect or at least the best they can. After all, all eyes are on the bride on her wedding day. History has taught us that some things work towards that end and some don't. This bride's question addresses one of those situations.
Dear Wedding Guru: "I'm committed to eating well and exercising regularly so that I look good at my wedding and on my honeymoon. I've made myself a promise and I'm keeping to it, but every so often my stomach 'blows up.' My friends say it's called 'belly bloat' and I just have to wait until it goes away.' I'm not good with that and if that happens on my wedding day or on my honeymoon, I'll be beside myself. Any ideas you can give me would be very much appreciated."

So you want to redo your old fashioned living room into something more modern, more stylish, more comfortable. Before you move forward you must decide first: 'What do I want to use the room for?'
John Willey
Is this a room where you want to lounge and watch TV and movies? Do you want the space to be able to entertain guests?
Would you need a space made for the kids to do homework at a table? How about a place for you to sit and relax with coffee(or wine) and a book?
If you take the time to answer these questions first, you will have a good direction of where you are headed. What are your priority's for the room? You must decide what the room will function as and then plan accordingly. That is a great first step in planning your redesign instead of jumping in with both feet and not knowing where to even begin the process. Don't you agree? Small arrangements, including the placement of rugs, can help you carve out space for activities in your room which we will go into further detail next time. Comments?
NEXT TIME: More questions to ask yourself before your redesign project.
If you need help answering these questions on the direction you are going with your redesign, contact me today!

On Vision: A Brief ReflectionClarifying VisionVision is a way of helping us stay focused on the central mission of the church's life. Through clarifying vision, decision making has a constant reference point. Through clarifying vision, the church has common language to deepen its sense of community. Through clarifying vision the church gives its various ministries the ability to integrate with and support each other. Typically vision statements respond to three different calls from Christ... |

Do I Have What It Takes?First Time Elder Often I am perplexed by the mystery of the human person. The more I learn and see, the more I wonder: Do I really have what it takes to be a spiritual guide to the people I meet? My experience is not unique.

The Role of an Elder: Responsibilities and LimitationsLeadership To be called as an elder is to take on a new role in your relationship to the congregation. It is important to reflect on your new role and face some of its demands and limitations.
First observe that you already have a number of roles that affect your relationships in the congregation:
January 9, 2010 |
Responsibilities of Elder According to the Church OrderOne avenue to discover the responsibilities of eldership is to examine the Church Order. The church order has a number of articles that outline some of aspects of eldership. I have put the basic Articles of the church order in together for your information.
January 9, 2010 |
Form of SubscriptionChurch Order Below we have the most recent Form of Subscription, along with some supplemental material found in the church order. For more discussion on the signing of this form read the Form of Subscription Revision Committee Report. While Synod did not approve that report because it seemed to weaken the bonds of faith between us, it does demonstrate the struggles we have had in understanding the value and importance of this form.
January 9, 2010 |
Give Them Intimacy, Not AnswersPastoral Care People need intimacy, not answers—that is what we must remember when we are trying to comfort someone who is hurting. Unfortunately the typical response to another's distress is to try to give answers. Our tongues swing into high speed, and we overflow with glib sayings and spiritual moralisms. Few of our words ...

Getting Started as a First-Time ElderFirst Time Elder I watched my granddaughter come up to the front of the church for the first time. She did not know what to do. Where would she sit? To which children did she belong? What was she supposed to do? Or not do?
January 9, 2010 |
The Various Roles of an ElderLeadership The calling of an elder gets us involved in many parts of the church's life. We get involved in different ways. We make visits, attend committee meetings as liaisons, and attend elders meetings and council meetings. In each instance, we take on a particular distinct role in which we can define responsibilities and face limitations.
January 11, 2010 |
Spiritual Formation: Becoming Like ChristSpiritual Formation When our first child entered our lives, we wondered about her growth. Was it normal for her to sleep so much? What about her smile? When would she learn to turn over on her own? So we bought a book called The First Twelve Months. It gave us a month-by-month description ...

A resource on visitingPastoral Care Here are some pointers on visiting from Jim Dekker (pastor's network). |
January 21, 2010 |
Getting Started On LeadershipLeadership In the last few weeks, I read two articles in the Financial Post on leadership. One article, quoting Dr Rowe, said: "I am not actually sure leadership is something that can be taught in the classroom …" it continued "many of the characteristics seen in good leaders, such as self-awareness, reliability, sensitivity to the strengths and weaknesses of colleagues, are also features of good followers." |
January 22, 2010 |
Characteristics of a Healthy ChurchAdministration We offer the following characteristics of healthy churches that are seen in the biblical history of God's people. |
January 25, 2010 |
Record Keeping: Elder's VisitAdministration We keep records to be accountable and to remember. The question is what needs to be recorded and for what purpose.
Not so long ago, a clerk of council had to go through the records of the church to find out some information about a decision made a long time ago. Along the way, he read many more minutes than anyone would wish...

Elders and Spiritual FormationSpiritual Formation In our tradition, the elders are encouraged (required by article 65 of the church order) to make an annual home visit. The purpose of these visits have varied over time: providing pastoral care, applying the preaching to the life of the members, supervising of the Lord's Supper, ensuring that the church programs were effective. Each of these had a different slant on the way to conduct the home visit.
At its root the concern was similar. |

Responsibilities According to the Charge to EldersChurch Order I charge you, elders, to "guard yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood" (Acts 20:28). |
March 12, 2010 |
Pastoral Care for Those 'Living Together'Pastoral Care Many times in my ministry, the topic of a couple "living together" without a proper wedding is placed on the agenda of elder's meeting. How do we provide pastoral care? What should we say? What do we think? While most agree that what is best is a deep commitment blessed by their respective families, celebrated in community, blessed by God and firmly established in law, having a couple do less raises questions. In simple terms, we wonder "How do we bring good news"? |

Caring for Someone in a Nursing HomePastoral Care Among the vulnerable in any congregation are people who through loss of health have diminished capabilities. Many times their limitations confine them to home or a nursing home. To care for them requires discerning ears and gentle words. In this article, Karen Mulder and Ginger Jurries share helpful pointers in our journey of care. |

On Process: Finding Ways to Make Progress as a CommunityLeadership Every process has its opportunity and its limitations. Choosing an appropriate process is one of the tasks of leadership. The way we do things is important. So often all of us fall into our default approach without considering alternatives. Yet we can accomplish much more by deliberately considering the way we seek to work ... |
April 23, 2010 |
Leadership, Covenant and Holiness: Reflections as I Read Moses PavaLeadership We often look around for material on leadership that might inspire us our imagination. Reading Moses Pava helped me, in part because he used two words hardly ever used at the same time as the word leadership, namely, covenant and holiness. |
May 12, 2010 |
When Jesus Guides: ConformingSpiritual Formation Conformity is not a popular word or image. In our imagination, conformity means to be shaped by what is socially and acceptable and expected of the group to which we belong. It is a loss of individuality. Becoming ourselves means finding our own identity and way in the world. So to speak about conformity will never be particularly engaging. Yet the Christian life is an invitation to conform. |

Just-in-Time LearningIn our just in time culture, just in time learning has come to work of elders. Very few churches have a program of preparation in which people are enrolled prior to their call to be an elder. Which means most elders start the work of eldership feeling unprepared for the challenge of the work. Learning needs to happen on many fronts. Just by reading this, you are seeking information and encouragement for the challenges you face.
January 23, 2010 |
Contentment and Spiritual FormationSpiritual Formation Christians have always remarked that contentment is rooted not in the circumstances of our lives but in God who gives life. We would do well to ask: what is my source of contentment? How do the habits of my life display that I find more contentment in the Lord than a trip to the mall?
January 25, 2010 |
Confusion in Communication StrategiesAdministration At a council meeting, we were talking about communicating a particular concern and decision to the congregation. That's where it began. The ones who were dealing with the youth suggested that we put in on facebook. The ones with email thought that was adequate. The luddites suggested that the mailslots in the church were adequate. Everyone agreed that just putting it in the bulletin was inadequate: it is never read well enough.
January 28, 2010 |
Do You Love Me?Spiritual Formation It is the question Jesus asked Peter. It is the question every member asks the elder.
When we become an elder, the tasks of the office loom before us. We will have to attend meetings, engage in church management, arrange visits with members, and take on leadership responsibilities. If you are a first time elder, these responsibilities can be overwhelming.
February 8, 2010 |
Reflections on Prayer While Reading HOMESpiritual Formation Sometimes by the time we get to pray we have already fretted and considered. By the time we come to God, our prayers reveal the solution to our crisis. God give me what I believe I need so that this moment will pass leaving me with the "appearance of dignity". |
February 22, 2010 |
On Good QuestionsLeadership So I began to wonder what have been some of the best questions in the context of the elder's work in the congregation. Leading the congregation in good conversations that create fresh consideration of the way we seek to live our lives faithful to God is vital to our call. |
March 1, 2010 |
Nomination TimeAdministration A name is mentioned. There is a collective hesitation. No one really wishes to speak. To open a conversation is to open the story of a mixed past. |
March 5, 2010 |
On Reading Mel Lawrenz Whole Church: Book ReflectionLeadership In church council we are always concerned about vision in the life of the church. We are also concerned about building unity in our common life. This book addresses both. His vision is summarized as "engaging God, God's people, community, and mission to the world". |
March 18, 2010 |
Fresh Eyes EarsSpiritual Formation My grandchildren have me looking as if for the first time once again. They see what I pass over. They are delighted with what I consider common. They hear in a fresh way. Observing them takes me out of my world and into theirs. Fresh ears and eyes that see and hear with wonder. It reminds me of what Jesus said: "unless you become like a child." |
March 22, 2010 |
Nudges, Entrepreneurs and Christ's Grand ProjectLeadership Over the last number of years I have come to the conclusion that we need to allow more chaos into the life of the church. Not the chaos that leads to violence, but the chaos that makes us open to the nudges of God. |

Taking Care of the PastorLeadership Spring is slowly awakening my garden. We don't plant much food. A little lettuce. Some beans. Still it is nourishment. In order for us to get the nourishment from this small plot, we need to tend the plot, ensure adequate water, and get rid of the weeds. It is neither instant nor effortless. Often times the image of feeding is used to speak about preaching... |

Self-DeceptionSpiritual Formation The range of what we think or do Is limited by what we fail to notice...Failing to notice is a strategy we use to avoid truth that demands change. We all believe that we ought to love our neighbour. In fact most of us think we are doing alright in this regard. Of course we tend to surround ourselves with... |
April 19, 2010 |
On Justifying SelfSpiritual Formation As I woke up this morning, I was having imagined conversations with some people in the church and who were once members of the church. I wanted reasons for their actions. I was asking the question every young child asks: Why? For instance: why do you attend that other church? Why have you stopped attending church altogether? |
April 23, 2010 |
Leading When We Feel Like Tottering FencesSpiritual Formation Yesterday, we reflected on what happened in elders lives this past year. When they said yes to serving as elder, they considered the pros and cons, their schedules and abilities. They knew they faced challenges. But all things considered they accepted, as the form says, that this was the call of God on their lives. Then life happened... |

Reliability and Spiritual LifeSpiritual Formation I started looking for a new car. It is an interesting journey. One question I ask involved reliability. I want to drive the vehicle for a long time. This means I am looking not only at first impressions or even cheapest price; I want the vehicle that has long haul credibility. I will accept fewer luxuries to gain greater reliability. Reliability is a quality of the Christian life... |
May 11, 2010 |
Ascension DaySpiritual Formation To confess Jesus is Lord is to say The Market is not, the President is not, the Banks are not, the Taliban is not. This is counter-cultural. We need many occasion to remind ourselves of this truth we so easily forget in the day to day demands on our lives. |
May 17, 2010 |
Filling Broken CisternsSpiritual Formation Jon Foreman uses an image of "broken cisterns" in his song "Cure for Pain" that grabbed my attention: I'm not sure why it always goes downhill Why broken cisterns never could stay filled |
May 24, 2010 |
Waiting for the SpiritSpiritual Formation Acts 1 begins with Jesus telling the disciples "wait". It is not that the disciples were without skills or abilities. But that was beside the point. The basic principle is simple: not by might, nor by power, but by the Holy Spirit. |
May 31, 2010 |
Spirit and DesireSpiritual Formation What do you want? It is a simple question. But the answers touch on many complex matters of the human heart. Dealing with human desire is one of the common features of spirituality in many religious traditions. Each one agrees on this: getting what we want often leads us astray. |

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Keep Calm and Pray On |
Written by Sumi Fleming |
14 March 2013 "Keep Calm and Pray On." That was the motto this week as NIF-grantee Women of the Wall ushered in the Hebrew month of Nissan at the Western Wall with hundreds of supporters. Tamar Zandberg, Michal Rozin and Stav Shaffir, three newly elected members of Knesset, were right in front, leading the way for the entire group. Their presence helped keep the police at bay and, unlike in past months, no arrests occurred. The leadership displayed by these MKs was a true embodiment of the spirit of International Women's Day, celebrated just last week. Although our work is far from over, there has been significant progress in fighting for women's rights. Our grantees are doing critical work, and not just on International Women's Day. The new members of Knesset, coupled with the events of the past week, leave me feeling that maybe – just maybe - the tide on women's rights in Israel is beginning to turn. Daniel Sokatch |
