JERUSALEM DIARIES
Carnage again stalks Jerusalem's buses
By Judith Lash Balint
 JERUSALEM, July 2 —My fellow bus riders and I generally spend our time at the bus stop grumbling about the #13 bus that's the only line that serves our neighborhood going to the center of town. The schedule is erratic; drivers are sometimes surly and the Egged bus company keeps on sending us the old-style purple and white buses that were pulled off most other lines years ago.
Today all we can do is stare in shock at the images of our #13 purple and white bus lying on its side on Jaffa Road after an Arab from eastern Jerusalem bulldozed the bus and dozens of cars and pedestrians in a deadly terror attack that claimed the lives of three Israelis and injured more than fifty.
Assaf Nadav, the driver of the #13 bus, and all the passengers reportedly managed to escape with varying degrees of injuries—no one was killed on the bus. Passengers related how they somehow managed to escape the shattered glass, grab for their screaming children and ran from the bus. Later this afternoon when the downtown roads are reopened, we'll be back waiting at the bus stop to go to do our pre-Shabbat shopping at Machane Yehudah, the market a few blocks away from where the bulldozer careened to a halt when the terrorist was overpowered. The crowded market may well have been his target.
In an "only in Jerusalem" scenario, the soldier who jumped on the bulldozer and killed today's terrorist was the brother-in-law of the guy who managed to eliminate the Mercaz Harav shooter last February.
This is the second Jerusalem terror attack in six months to be perpetrated by an Israeli ID-carrying Arab. Today's 30 year-old terrorist, a construction worker and father of two from Sur Baher (the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva carnage was carried out by the son of a well-to-do family from the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood). Both areas are Arab villages within Jerusalem's municipal boundaries, on the Israeli side of the security barrier. Residents of both villages work in Jerusalem's hotels, restaurants, hospitals, building sites and in every city department.
Would today's terrorist have been deterred if we would have destroyed the family home of the Mercaz Harav murderer and taken away all their financial and social benefits?
Is there any kind of effective deterrent against those educated to pure hatred who live in our midst?
Difficult questions that my fellow passengers will no doubt be debating as we ride the #13 bus in the coming days.

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

THE VIEW FROM JINSA
Victory in Iraq is well worth fighting for
By Shoshana Bryen
 WASHINGTON, D.C.—What is it about "Iraq" and "victory" in the same sentence that gives people the willies? A local rabbi, leading his congregation in a prayer for American troops every Sabbath, used to ask the Lord to return them "speedily, safely and victoriously to their families." Some congregants objected - not those who actually had children in the military - so the rabbi dropped "victory." After a JINSA Report mentioned "our victory in Iraq," a reader wrote, "If we have another 'victory' like Iraq it will be the end of America."
What is the problem with victory?
There are those who think winning isn't "nice." They want all children to get ribbons in sports and don't think high schools should have valedictorians. If there are "winners" there will be "losers" and they worry about the psyche of the latter. "Everyone wins" may work in school, but in Iraq - and the larger Middle East - there are people willing to kill and die in the most brutal fashion to eliminate their enemies, intimidate bystanders and expand their sphere of influence. In Iraq - and in the larger Middle East - there have to be winners and losers. And the winners had better be us.
What does victory look like? The proper comparison for Iraq is not 2003 vs. 2008. It is the regime of Saddam compared to the present and future Iraq. Saddam, who tossed an estimated 400,000 of his own people into mass graves; used poison gas on the Kurds; dried up the southern marshes, driving out the historic Shiite Marsh Arabs; used missiles on Tehran and Tel Aviv, threatening to "burn half of Israel"; and refused to acquiesce in UN requirements to verifiably dismantle his non-conventional weapons program - preferring UN sanctions that killed tens of thousands of Iraqi children, but enriched Saddam, his sons and their European benefactors.
All of that horror is gone. Yes, Iranian-sponsored Shiite militias and al Qaeda (needing a new home) temporarily replaced the old horrors with new horrors. Both thought the United States could be forced out and they would split, or fight over the dead carcass of Iraq. But American determination to stay, to nurture a government and to create a military have allowed regular Iraqis to express increasing disgust for radicalism, terrorism and armed jihad. Al Qaeda is nearly gone and the Mahdi Army increasingly despised. Today, Iraq's largest Sunni parliamentary bloc, the National Concord Front, rejoined Prime Minister al-Maliki's Cabinet after boycotting it for almost a year. This restores the broad-based, popularly elected government just in time to gear up for the multi-party, secret ballot, regional elections that will take place in the fall.
In this week of America's Independence Day, we thank the millions of American solders from Bunker Hill to Baghdad and all the places in between, for pursuing victory. They are the guarantors of a strong, peaceful, democratic United States. Their victories in battle provide for our fireworks, flags and picnics - and, we believe, provide hope and reassurance for the people of the Middle East that moderation and modernity can prevail for them as well as for us.
That is victory. We are grateful for it and we hope the rabbi puts it back in his prayers.
FROM THE GATES OF THE NEGEV
Biking can make you and planet more fit
By Ulla Hadar
 KIBBUTZ RUHAMA, Israel —A "global Jewish discussion" of ways we can participate in saving the planet commenced in San Diego Jewish World yesterday with stories from Melbourne, Australia by Garry Fabian, and from San Diego by Don Harrison. So this is the time to share my story from Israel's Negev Desert.
I go to the fitness room situated in the Hydrotheraphy Center of Sha'ar Hanegev two or three times a week. Since I do not have an Israeli driver's license I can not drive myself there and I am dependant on catching a lift
with people or waiting for the kibbutz transportation to take me there and back. It is not very convenient. Sometimes I have to wait for up to two hours to return to my kibbutz. I usually use the time to write my articles for the newspaper or to read in the library. As a very independent person I like to
make my own choices when and where.
In light of this and with all the publicity in the media on how to save gasoline, I have decided to bike the 13 kilometers (8 miles) to the fitness room, instead of driving. (Although I wouldn't have been the one doing the driving, still it is a good answer if anyone asks me why I would do such a crazy thing!!!)
Rafi, my husband, was not happy about my biking because of the Israeli drivers. They are not very careful and it can be quite dangerous to bike on the road despite the fact that there are wide shoulders. Some of the drivers have an urge to get as close as possible to you so that you almost feel the side mirror of the car brushing your body.
Born in Denmark, I am not frightened by 13 kilometers. Danes are born on bicycles; the children are taught biking in very early age. I remember myself being around 7 years old driving 3 kilometers to and from my school. Of course school children in Denmark are taught by a policeman the rules of traffic and learn to be careful—especially in the winter when it is dark and sometimes icy and snowy.
To get myself organized for my bike trip is a completely different matter. If you could have seen me, it looked as I was off for a hike in the Alps!!! Now how can this be? Well first of all I needed a change of clothes for the fitness room, a change of clothes for going back, a towel, my toiletries, sunglasses, sunscreen, purse, cell phone, keys and off course breakfast including all the carbohydrates and protein needed after a workout. These were only the accessories. There were also such basics for an ordinary bike ride of helmet, gloves, water bottle, pump, extra inner tube and tools for repairing a puncture. I am sure you have the picture popping up right in front of your eyes what it looked like when I drove off in the morning.
But jokes aside, I really enjoyed the drive. I love biking. It makes you feel so good when the winds touch your cheeks as gently as a kiss and the adrenalin is pumping in your body when you fight the hills.
It is wonderful to reach the kibbutz after 26 kilometers and 1 and 1/2 hour of training in the fitness room. I heartily recommend this to everyone who wants to save gasoline.
GUEST COLUMN
Confronting abuse in the Jewish community
By Rabbi Jeff Brown
 CARDIFF BY THE SEA, California—I have no idea where it comes from, but there is an unfortunate misperception that Jews are somehow not affected by things like alcohol abuse, drug abuse, and domestic violence. As a result, the sense of vulnerability and shame that is felt by many who suffer from/are victims of these abuses – which we would rightly expect from anyone that has had to deal with these very difficult situations – is compounded here in the Jewish community, because of the pervasive silence and the sense that this stuff just doesn’t happen to Jewish families.
I am writing today to proclaim that the presumption that Jews are immune from these behaviors/experiences is utterly untrue. With regard to alcoholism, drug use, and domestic violence, the statistical occurrences within the American Jewish community is virtually the same as that of the wider American population.
Regarding the first two issues, all of us should be familiar with JACS (Jewish Alcoholics, Chemically Dependent Persons, and Significant Others) and their website. They are the Jewish community’s primary organizational response to drug and alcohol abuse, and they supplement the resources of groups like Alcoholics Anonymous by offering support from a specifically Jewish perspective. It goes without saying that Rabbi David Frank, Cantor Kathy Robbins, and myself (all of Temple Solel) have all counseled those whose families are struggling with these issues, and our doors remain open to those in search of support.
I would add, in addition, that the temple staff has been in a continuous process of re-examining the ways that these issues are addressed with our young people in the Religious School Program. Informally, our Youth Director, Craig Parks, has facilitated a series of programs over the last few years for our young people to confidentially discuss and learn about the impact of drug and alcohol abuse. Craig has also served as a counselor for our young people who have already found themselves in drug or alcohol-related distress.
More formally, School Director Ellen Fox is bringing a new program to the temple that will help our 7th – 9th graders explore these issues in the coming school year. Additionally, Rabbi Frank and I will continue to raise these topics as part of the curriculum of our Confirmation Class. I know that we all hope and pray that these efforts will enable our kids to make healthy choices about the way they live their lives.
Equally important is the issue of domestic violence. Approximately 30% of all American women report physical or sexual abuse by an intimate partner/significant other over the course of their lifetime. Also disturbing: 20% of female high school students experience an incident of physical or sexual abuse.
When I share these statistics with my 7th graders, they are empathetic, but most presume that this could never happen to them. Is that your presumption as well?
Physical and sexual abuse (and if we include verbal, financial, and emotional abuse the numbers would undoubtedly skyrocket up) most definitely does occur in the Jewish community as well. (I wish that it didn’t!) Did you know that there are resources here in our own San Diego County Jewish community to assist those who are victims of this kind of trauma? Project SARAH (Stop Abusive Relationships At Home) is a subsidiary of San Diego’s Jewish Family Service. You can visit their website at or reach a trained counselor at (858) 637-3200. Again, all of the clergy have counseled people on this issue in the past. And, just recently, Cantor Robbins and I attended a seminar facilitated by Project SARAH to learn more about this serious issue.
Temple Solel is a place that offers so many amazing things: inspiring Shabbat services, engaging educational opportunities, and a chance to connect with new and old friends. But, first and foremost, it is my hope that Temple Solel be known as a safe place…a place that you or your family members will feel comfortable to come to if you are experiencing some kind of distress, and a place that offers the possibility of healing. Our tradition profoundly believes that it is possible to get better, and to move beyond the sense of suffering that sometimes weighs us down.

Thursdays with the Songs of Hal Wingard
 Editor's Note: We continue our presentation of the songs of Hal Wingard, moving this week to songs he wrote on the themes of eating and drinking. Here is a link to an index of Wingard's songs published by San Diego Jewish World. To hear Hal performing the song, click on its title.
#247, Dieting
It's time to discard
These layers of lard,
Get rid of these foldings of fat.
It's time to decrease
These bulges of grease
That strangers and friends rudely pat.
I'll no longer bear
The stab of their stare,
As if all this weight weren't enough.
So, let's celebrate
My losing of weight
By sharing this lovely cream puff.
This diet is fun,
And now I've begun
Each moment I see myself thinner.
I'm feeling so great
I hardly can wait
For breakfast, for lunch, and for dinner.
It's time to discard
These layers of lard,
Get rid of these foldings of fat.
It's time to decrease
These bulges of grease
That strangers and friends rudely pat.
#308, Great New Diet
I’ve found a great new diet
That guarantees success.
It’s worth the will to try it,
If you have weight excess.
Once you make your mind up,
Once you feel you can,
You’ll easily get signed up
To start the three-step plan.
The first step gives you power.
Each day you skip a meal.
Instead you take a shower.
You’ll see how good you feel.
Step two gives tone to muscle,
And more than that, it’s fun.
You early skip work’s bustle,
To take a ten-mile run.
To cinch the plan’s potential
For weight loss one expects,
The third step’s most essential:
You twice each day have sex.
Oh, it’s a great new diet!
It guarantees success!
It’s worth the will to try it,
If you have weight excess.
# 74, Bad Booze Blues
Alcohol. . .
It ain't at all
What it's cracked up to be
It bites the tongue,
Deflates the lung
And blurs the memory.
I got the blues,
The bad booze blues.
I got the blues,
The bad booze blues.
It dulls the brain
And causes pain
With gooseflesh ev'rywhere.
Your eyes will ache;
Your skin will flake;
Your clothes will look threadbare.
Chorus
So, friends, take heed
In thought and deed
And save us from the brink.
To help destroy
The booze supply
Let's have another drink.
Chorus

Hashomer Hatzair to Have Summer Camp
From Southwestern Jewish Press, June 19, 1947, page 5
Hashomer Hatzair, an international Zionist Youth Movement, announces the opening of its summer camp for the west Coast. The camp starts on August 13th and continues for 17 days. The camp is situated in the Angeles National Forest, about 100 miles inland from Los Angeles.
Hashomer Hatzair has made an enviable record for itself in the field of Jewish and Hebrew education. Its leaders undergo intensive training in Jewish and Hebrew culture and in educational theory. All activities at the camp—swimming, hiking, arts and crafts, etc.—are under the capable guidance of these trained leaders. The age limit for both boys and girls is between 12 and 16 years of age.
For further information contact Ezra Schaffer, 7428 Richland Str., Linda Vista, telephone Woodland 7-9227.
Program Completed for Day Camp
From Southwestern Jewish Press, June 19, 1947, page 5
Registration for the first Day Camp in the History of the Jewish community of San Diego will be completed Monday, June 23, starting at 9:30 A.M. at the Temple Center, Third & Laurel. All parents who wish to have their children attend the Day Camp for any period of time are requested to bring their children at that time in order to register them and pay the necessary fee.
During the morning of registration, a medical examination will be given by Doctors Earl Brodie and F.G. Hollander who will act as the medical staff for the Day Camp. A record of the children’s health progress will be kept.
The schedule for the first two week session was completed at a meeting of the counselors. The staff, consisting of Ben Haddock, Head Counselor, Hadarrah Domnitz, Ruth Fiel, Joan Jacobson, and Mrs. Ruth Ball, is ready to begin work. The latest addition to the staff, Mrs. Ruth Ball, is a well known sculptor and arts and crafts worker with a vast amount of experience with Children’s Aid, the Naval Hospital and the U.S.O.
The schedule for the first week will be:
MONDAY, June 23, registration, assembly for parents and children, clay modeling, contest to name the camp and a trip to Ft. Rosecrans and the Lighthouse where the children will be conducted through gun emplacements and other military installations.
TUESDAY, June 24, beach day and hike at Torrey Pines.
WEDNESDAY, June 25, crafts, games and small nature hike in the morning; swimming lesson in the afternoon.
THURSDAY, June 26, guided trip to the San Diego Zoo, eat lunch at the Zoo.
FRIDAY, June27, riding class at Balboa Stables, arts and crafts, games and afternoon services at the Temple.
The second week will include two visits to the County Fair, a cookout at Torrey Pines, swimming lessons and riding lessons.
Transportation for pickup and delivery of children will be available through the courtesy of California Laundry and the lending of its station wagon for the period of the Day Camp. However, it is suggested that if parents can bring their children, they do so. Parents are invited to take any trip they desire with their children if they bring their own transportation.
Jewish War Vets
From Southwestern Jewish Press, June 19, 1947, page 6
The patients at the Naval Hospital were recently presented with three gross of large crystal ash trays by the Jewish war Veterans Auxiliary, whose president is Mrs. Joe M. Spatz. This particular project was supervised by Mrs. Marco M. Ratner, Hospital Chairman of the organization.
This type of each tray presented by the group were especially suitable for bed patients, since they are so constructed that a cigarette automatically goes out when placed in the tray.
The Auxiliary gives monthly parties for the hospitalized service men in the lounge at the Naval Hospital providing food, entertainment and junior hostesses.
The membership tea at the home of Mrs Max Avrick was a great success and all who attended became members of the Auxiliary. Mrs. Spatz wishes to thank the very able committee composes of Mmes Bess Siegel, Esther Frank and Pauline Rubel.
The dinner held on June 16th which preceded the usual meeting was very well attended and everyone reports having had a most enjoyable evening.
