LETTER FROM JERUSALEM
Peace negotiations produce little news
By Ira Sharkansky
 JERUSALEM, July 30—Not much seems to be happening behind the curtain drawn around the peace talks between Israel and Palestine (West Bank).
Prime Minister Olmert has said that no agreement on Jerusalem is likely before the end of the year. This brought a comment from a senior Palestinian that there would be no agreement that did not provide for a Palestinian capital in Jerusalem. It also brought a statement from the White House urging greater effort in order to reach an accord.
In what sounds like desperation, a member of the Palestinian negotiating team proclaimed if the situation does not progress toward putting an end to the construction in the settlements and toward a serious and continuous negotiations, we must undertake steps similar to that in Kosovo and unilaterally declare independence.
This is not the first time the Palestinians have talked about a unilateral declaration of independence. The Palestine Liberation Organization actually produced one in 1988, at a meeting of its "National Council" in Algiers. Nobody important on this side of the Mediterranean did anything in response.
President Mahmoud Abbas has shown some nervousness in the face of more substantial diplomatic action on the Israeli-Gaza front. A cease fire agreed via Egyptian intermediaries is holding, and there are further discussions about trading Israeli prisoners for Gilad Shalit. Hamas, in charge of Gaza, is demanding the release of Hamas ministers in the Palestinian National Authority being held in Israeli prisons. Abbas has threatened to dismantle the whole Palestinian National Authority if Israel takes such a step.
So much for the unity of Palestine.
Israeli politicians are doing what they can to cool the prospects of any agreements. Knesset members of several parties have said that Prime Minister Olmert lacks the authority to decide anything important. Expectations are that his career will end with the primary called by his Kadima party to select a new leadership in September. Nothing is sure, but it appears that the Israeli political crises outweighs everything else.
We hear positive things about Israeli-Syrian negotiations via intermediaries of Turkey. Here, too, nothing is likely to happen before Israelis are more certain about their prime minister.
Numerous commentators from the military and political sectors have been worrying about military preparations of Hizbollah in the north, and Hamas in the south.
No one should discount potential threats, but it is possible to perceive more positive prospects.
In both cases, there may be some benefits for Israel due to Arabs with power.
Hizbollah does not rule Lebanon, but it is a major factor in a country that no one else rules. Hamas controls Gaza. In the West Bank, about the only thing Abbas can do is find his way to Jerusalem for yet another meeting with hugs and handshakes. Israeli security forces are doing the heavy lifting in the West Bank. Nightly incursions occasionally produce Palestinian casualties, as well as more inmates for Israel's security prisons.
Israel has learned from 35 years experience that a strong government in Syria can provide quiet on the northeastern border, even without a peace treaty. Perhaps the same can result from the strong authorities of Hizbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.
Both Hizbollah and Hamas have recent experience with the power of Israel. The Lebanese suffered some 1,200 deaths and a great deal of property damage in a month of fighting during 2006. Hamas and its allies in Gaza suffered more than 500 deaths at about the same time. There were several hundred more until the recent cease fire, and there remains substantial Israeli control of the fuel, food, and other supplies that reach Gaza.
The situations in the north and south are far from ideal. Neither Hamas or Hizbollah can offer the assurances of a state. Problematic agreements may unravel at any moment. We would prefer both organizations to control their borders out of love for Israel. Lacking that, we will settle for control out of fear.

Temple Solel travelers inspect soldiers' quarters as part of 'Project Kibbutz'
By Ulla Hadar
 KIBBUTZ RUHAMA, Israel —A delegation from Temple Solel in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California, led by Rabbi David Frank, arrived Wednesday, July 30, at Kibbutz Ruhama to see first-hand some results of its “Project Kibbutz: Help the Soldiers.”
The 16-member delegation toured this eastern-most kibbutz in the Sha’ar Hanegev municipality, stopping at a military apartment complex that contributions from the Reform congregation are helping to renovate.
Kibbutz youngsters who are of Army age live in the three-building complex, which was first built in the 1960s and which shows its age. Sewage lines often are blocked, the electrical writing is unsafe, and there are no glass windows.
According to materials distributed by Temple Solel to its membership, the project’s aim is “to know that Ruhama soldiers who defend the borders and the people have a comfortable home….. In the spirit of Tikun Olam, Solel has set a goal of renovating two soldier apartments per year.”
 Renovation costs per unit such as the one at the left are estimated at $6,800, with $1,500 for sewage, $900 for electrical, $1,800 for windows and the entrance door, $1,000 for building renovation and $1,600 for tiling and painting. The Temple has set up an Israel Action Fund for donations.
Ziv Regev, a former Ruhama soldier, wrote to Temple Solel during his service: “I returned home after three weeks in the Army. Most of that time, I spend with four other soldiers inside a tank going on missions. It means so much physically and mentally to have my own private room where at the end of a duty, I can relax, recharge my energy and have some privacy.”
Israeli soldiers start the Army at age 18 and typically serve for three years if they are males, and two years if they are females.
 The special relationship between Ruhama and Temple Solel commenced five years ago under the leadership of the then-chair of Temple Solel’s Israel Action Fund, Lisa Sweet. Under her leadership, congregation members sent letters and small presents for the holidays to the soldiers of Ruhama. Other connections between the kibbutz and the San Diego County congregation have included a tile artwork made by Temple Solel for Ruhama, and two healing tapestries that members of the kibbutz made for Temple Solel. The kibbutz owns a ceramic sculpture by Emanule Luzzati which depicts the Exodus (above), and the congregation owns some of his paintings.
As it turned out, the soldier whom members of Temple Solel met on Wednesday was my own son, Oren, who had just returned with us from a family vacation in Italy and was not yet scheduled to report back to his unit. Other kibbutz soldiers were away on duty.
The congregants asked Oren questions about his service, how he feels and what he has been doing, and he showed them his apartment so they could see how he lives and the unit’s condition.
Along with Ruth Assiskowitz, who also hosted the visitors, I had participated in the 2008 professional delegation from Sha’ar Hanegev which had visited San Diego County, so in some cases we had the advantage of already-established friendships.
Before arriving at Kibbutz Ruhama, the Temple Solel group had visited such sites in Jerusalem as the Old City, the Western Wall and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial; had been in the northern parts of Israel in the Golan Heights, the Galil, Mount Carmel and Haifa; and, in Tel Aviv, visited the Palmach Museum, Rabin Square and the Ayalon Institute. After visiting our kibbutz, they headed for Eilat and a cross-border visit to Petra, Jordan, then will come back up north through Masada and the Dead Sea, before they are scheduled to return on a flight home.
THE JEWISH GROTTO
How kosher was the U-T's meat coverage?
By Gary Rotto
 SAN DIEGO-- Reviewing the opinion section of the Union-Tribune creates many emotions. I certainly had a range of emotions recently when reading its commentary on the immigration raid at a meat packing plant in Postville, Iowa.
Recently, immigration and customs officials raided the plant and charged that many workers were in this country illegally. Illegal immigration is a hot button issue in this state and in this county in particular, so such a focus on a significant issue by the editorial board is logical. And the raid encompasses about 300 arrests and was the largest workplace raid in Iowa history according to the Des Moines Register.
Two things jumped out at me in the opinion piece. First was the identification of the plant as a “kosher” meat processing plant. This identifying feature was used not once but twice. The second was the opening statement that “Some liberal groups are furious over recent immigration raids at meatpacking plants in the Midwest ….”
I am troubled by the usage of the “kosher” labeling. Was this a message to the Jewish community? If so, what is the message? The Des Moines Register, the largest regional newspaper covering this area of Iowa, did not use the term “kosher” in any one of its 38 photos posted on its website. It didn’t matter what kind of plant this was. Kosher or non-kosher, the issues were whether the plant operators knew that so many workers were illegal immigrants and whether the workers had used forged documents to claim eligibility to work in the plant.
Was the use of the adjective “kosher” intended to embarrass the Jewish community? Actually, the plant produces both kosher and non-kosher meat products. Was there an intentional coupling of “kosher” with the opening statement regarding liberal groups? This doesn’t make sense as the plant was opened and populated by Hasidic Jews from New York when the then defunct plant was taken over and reopened in 1987. I will bet that well over two-thirds of the members of the Hadisic community are politically conservative, not liberal.
The Union-Tribune piece obscures a bigger issue: the labor standards and potential labor issues at the plant. Besides the question of legal status of the workers, the issue of working conditions has arisen. There are accusations of not only employing underage workers, but also of physical abuse. The New York Times reports one worker being kicked from behind by a supervisor, which caused him to bump into a knife that cut his elbow, requiring eight stitches. The article reports that the worker was not given time off for the stitches to heal and that the wound began to bleed while on the job. Another allegation states that a worker was blindfolded with duct tape and then stuck with the blunt end of a meat hook. Other allegations include constant negative comments in an effort to motive workers to work more quickly. These allegations are troubling.
Our teaching talks about Derech Eretz – decent, polite respectful, thoughtful and civilized behavior. Our tradition teaches that we are to treat a stranger in a foreign land with respect. Whether the allegations about the operations of the plant are true, clearly the labor climate in the plant was contrary to this ideal. One kosher label has advertised that “we answer to a higher authority.” This must apply in not only the meat processing itself but also with the workforce who help to comply with these ritual standards.
Thursdays with the Songs of Hal Wingard
 Editor's Note: We continue our presentation of the songs of Hal Wingard, moving this week to the songs he wrote on the themes of aging. 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.
#37, Growing Old
Slowly, softly, I'm growing old.
Wond'ring, watching my life unfold.
Sleeping, waking: growing old.
Giving, taking: growing old.
Singing, sighing; failing, trying,
Wond'ring, watching my life unfold.
Working, playing: growing old.
Owing, paying: growing old.
Teaching, learning; loving, yearning.
Slowly, softly, I'm growing old.
#293, As People Grow Old
Dysfunctions that crop up as people grow old
Account for sad stories that never are told,
For no one stands ready and eager to hear
How elder infirmities won’t disappear.
As people grow old.
So, seniors won’t tell you of arthritic pain,
And when they feel slighted they never explain.
They seldom inform you of stomach upset.
They rarely recount all the things they forget
As people grow old.
When vision is blurry and mem’ry is weak,
When searching for words makes it painful to speak,
All elders will say that they’re doing just fine--
Thus hiding their stories by willful design.
As people grow old.
Dysfunctions that crop up as people grow old
Account for sad stories that never are told,
For no one stands ready and eager to hear
How elder infirmities won’t disappear.
As people grow old.
As people grow old.
#303, Home for the Aged
Ten little wheelchairs, all in a row,
Parked and awaiting the amateur show.
Ten elder ladies, propped in each chair,
Wondering where they are or why they are ther e.
We, too, will someday be wheeled out for show
In ten little wheelchairs, with no place to go.
 
THE JEWISH CITIZEN
Basic Jewish concepts to our children
—and perhaps to Chinese workers too
Goodnight Sh’ma by Jacqueline Jules, illustrated by Melanie Hall, Kar-Ben Publishing, $5.95
Where Shabbat Lives by Jan Goldin Fabiyi, illustrated by Sue Ramá; Kar-Ben Publishing, $5.95
By Donald H. Harrison
 SAN DIEGO—These are two “board books” that can withstand being pulled, dropped, or even chewed by an infant, who will enjoy sitting in a parent’s or grandparent’s lap, and looking at the pictures, and over time, absorbing information rendered in rhyme by Jules, and in free verse by Fabiyi.
I climb into bed with a book and a bear
After my story, it’s time for my prayer
is the text covering the first four pages of Jules’ 10-page book.
We see a child in his pajamas, cradling a teddy bear under one arm and holding a book (that looks remarkably like the one we are reading) in his hand. As he sits in bed, hugging the teddy bear in his arms, his mother reads to him.
Thereafter, he says the Sh’ma prayer, which is both transliterated and translated on the last page. This boy’s dreams are filled with animals, so, in Hall’s depiction of his reveries, other children can find her drawings of such critters as a butterfly, bird, rabbi, lion, cat, fish, horse, squirrel, frog, turtle, and even an elephant!
In our candles
In our wine
In our braided challah
This is where Shabbat lives
is the text of the first two pages of Fabiyi’s 10-page essay. Ramá’s illustrations include brightly burning Shabbat candles in two special candlesticks, a half-full glass of wine (everyone is an optimist on Shabbat!) and a challah with a cover decorated with various Magen David designs.
We learn that Shabbat also “lives”—isn’t that a nice concept?—with guests, blessings and songs, in dressing up and walking to synagogue, in thoughts and prayers, “in our rest, in our play, in our lives every week.” Furthermore, according to author Fabiyi, Shabbat is within our wondering, wandering, caring and sharing—abstract notions that will be fun to explain once your little pre-reader begins developing a vocabulary.
While obviously pre-readers are the intended audience for these two books, I couldn’t help but wonder if Chinese workers, interested in learning English, might also be picking up tidbits of information about Shabbat and about Jewish prayer. The board books are manufactured in Mainland China, and one can imagine a worker with a rudimentary knowledge of our alphabet gulping down these words every shift, so that they almost become internalized.
One hears commentary that no matter how repressive the regime of Mainland China may be toward its people, various influences are bringing the citizens of that country into contact with the ideas and people of other nations. Of course, right now, the approaching Olympic Games are a paramount example of such an influence, but can it also be said that international business contacts, such as the one between Kar-Ben Publishing and the Chinese manufacturing plant, have a similar impact?
Some day, perhaps, one of us shall meet a plant worker, who will tell us proudly, “yes, I learned some English at my work place—Sh’ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad—Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.”
PEOPLE OF THE BOOKS
A literary giant emerges from self-exile
Exit Ghost, by Philip Roth; Houghton Mifflin Company, 292 pages. $26.
By David Strom
 SAN DIEGO—Nathan Zuckerman returned. He hadn’t visited his hometown New York in over eleven years. During the years away, he wrote, and opted out of the political and social world around him. Zuckerman knew about the 9/11 tragedies, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the dismantling of the Constitution. At 71, Zuckerman rarely read a newspaper or watched TV. He wanted and had little contact with his neighbors, traveled into town only for groceries, and had locals doing most of the maintenance on his home. Nathan Zuckerman did not have a woman in eleven years. He thought his desire died while living alone in his New England mountain home.
So why did he come back to the city he loved? What brought him out of seclusion and his cloistered way of life? At seventy-one it was for his health. He had, like so many other males his age, a bladder condition. He was humiliated by the condition of his wetting himself, and embarrassed by his needing to wear adult diapers. Worst of all, Zuckerman imagined others could smell the urine wafting from the diaper.
The doctor offered him hope. Undergoing a simple procedure, one that could be done in the office, ha helped at least fifty percent of the doctor’s patients almost immediately. Zuckerman, tired of his bladder problem and fooling himself into thinking it might help his erection dysfunction, agreed to have the procedure done.
While Zuckerman waited in the doctor’s office, he heard a voice from his youth, Amy Bellette. Years earlier she was the lover of his mentor E.I. Lonoff. Amy was just one of the many items that destroyed Lonoff’s marriage and, possibly, his career. Lonoff and Amy were happy for four years living and traveling together. Then Lonoff died. Zuckerman did not maintain contact with Amy after his first literary hero died. The Amy he now saw was an old woman suffering from a cancerous tumor in her head. She was battling for her life. Zuckerman thought she was losing the struggle.
Staying in NYC for just a few nights to learn if he needed more treatments, Zuckerman, in a rash moment purchased a newspaper. Looking at the want ads, one ad in particular, caught his attention. In an ill advised hasty moment, he answered the ad. Yes, he would swap his home in the mountains for their apartment for one year! And they would escape to his countryside abode.
Also, they might flee the Presidential nightmare at the White House; they would run away from the irregularities of the election of 2004 and the Iraq War. They might slowly learn to feel comfortable, once again, living as Americans. For now, they felt ashamed to be Americans.
Why had he answered yes to the swap? Was it Jamie, the wife of the couple going to live in the mountains? She did awake erotic feelings that Zuckerman thought dead. He was captured by thoughts of intimacy, which he knew he could not fulfill. Nathan Zuckerman felt vibrant once again with the cozy thought that his mind and body were again working together. For the first time in many years, he was sexually aroused.
Amy Bellette recognized Nathan Zuckerman as he entered the restaurant. Knowing that her face and body had changed so drastically, she deliberately did not speak with him. He recognized her and thought she would not remember him, so he made no attempt to speak with her.
Later they met. They talked about Lonoff and how today he was almost a completely forgotten author. The young did not know how he contributed to the world of American and world literature. While Zuckerman took the place once held by Lonoff in the literary world, while many aspiring young writers wanted to make their mark as Zuckerman had, few knew Lonoff or the importance of Lonoff to Zuckerman. Amy Bellette wanted her former lover, Lonoff, remembered. But she didn’t want a Richard Kliman writing about the life of Lonoff. She thought Kliman posed a threat to the memory of her late lover. He might say or write anything to get at Lonoff’s “great secret.”
Richard Kliman wanted to be Lonoff’s biographer. Amy Bellette worried Kliman might write something that would reawaken an interest in Lonoff and, at the same time, taint the good name of Lonoff. She thought it possible that Richard Kliman could be literary “double-edged” sword.
The lives of Nathan Zuckerman, Amy Bellette, Jamie and her husband, and Richard Kliman intersect, beautifully in Philip Roth’s Exit Ghost. Roth continues to entertain and challenge in his latest book.

Make Fall Plans For Community Center
From Southwestern Jewish Press, September 1949, page 3
Fall activities of the Jewish Community Center are now being prepared by the new director of center activities, Mr. Irwin Wohl, who assumed his work on August 1st. Plans include athletics dramatics, social and cultural affairs which are to be carried in a Center building.
Morris Douglas, chairman of the Community Center Committee, stated after a recent meeting of the group, that the year 1950 may see the beginning of a Community Center building for the Jewish Community of San Diego.
An October meeting to familiarize the community with plans for a Center is planned. At the meeting, election of a Board of Directors will be held, plus a ‘town hall” program on the development of a Community Center.
An outstanding authority on Jewish Centers will be the guest speaker with a question and answer period to follow.
Closing Program Climaxes Day Camp
From Southwestern Jewish Press, September 1949, page 3
The third and most successful Day Camp of the UJF was brought to a close recently with a closing program participated in by ninety children. Parents and friends gathered in temple Center where the activities of the day campers were effectively demonstrated in skits, songs and dances; and where articles produced by them in the arts and crafts classes were on exhibit.
Of the one hundred and ten campers who attended this summer’s session, several are grateful to the Junior Matrons, National Council of Jewish Women, Jolly Sixteen, Temple Beth Israel Sisterhood, the United Jewish Fund and Mrs. William Burnett, for the scholarship which these groups and persons provided.
Jacobson to Be Honored at N.Y. Presentation
From Southwestern Jewish Press, September 1949, page 9
A citation of Distinguished Service has been awarded to Isadore Jacobson by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Mr. Jacobson will personally accept this honor in New York City on September 27t.
Mr. Jacobson, president of Tifereth Israel Congregation, will fly to New York on September 25 and return for Yom Kippur at which time he will address the Congregation. He will report on their affiliation with the United Synagogues of America.
Tifereth Israel is recognized as one of the progressive and outstanding Synagogues of the year.
Men’s Club of Temple Beth Israel Holds Election of Officers
From Southwestern Jewish Press, September 1949, page 9
At a recent meeting at the Temple Center, the following were elected as Officers and Directors of the Men’s Club of Temple Beth Israel:
Pres., Richard F. Lustig; Vice-Pres., Richard C. Levi; Sec’y, Jack Rosnblum; Treas., Allen Lame.
The new Board of Directors is composed of the following men: Jerome Greben, Ben Harris, Dr. J.A. Rittoff, Abe Sklar, Mort Rosenbaum and Rabbi Morton Cohn. Ben Rubin and Nate Schiller as ex-officio.
The Temple Men’s Club outlined and intends to carry through an intense program of activities during the coming year. The Club has assumed sponsorship of Troop No. 40 of the Boy Scouts of America, whose membership is made up of handicapped children. Since there is but one other such Boy Scout troop in the nation—on the East Coast—and since there is manifestly a great need for active participation in the work of the troop, the Temple Men’s Club has assumed responsibility for helping these handicapped children in their Scout work. Any men in the community who are interested in contributing time once or twice a month should get in touch with Dick Levi, Main 5091, who will be glad to acquaint you with the details.
The Autumn opening meeting of the Temple Men’s Club will take the form of a Father and Son Dinner at the Temple center—details of which will be announced in the nest issue of the Press.
As the basis for bringing together men of various interests in the community, as a constructive force for good, both in the temple and the community as a hole—and in the cause of cementing good fellowship among men of the community, the reactivated Men’s Club of Temple Beth Israel begins the new year with high hope for the future.
