UNITED JEWISH FEDERATION OF SAN DIEGO January 29 Men's Event
THE VIEW FROM JINSA
The U.S. President... and the Middle East
By Shoshana Bryen
 WASHINGTON, DC—As we finally move toward the only thing that counts - the vote - we take as our priority that of former New York City Mayor Ed Koch who said in 2004, "Islamic terrorists want to destroy us."
So they did, and so they do.
"They" are loosely defined as people and organizations who believe the United States and Israel are the primary enemy, with other Westerners close behind. They believe in the expansion of violent, radical Islam to subjugate their own people and destroy infidels and expand the realm of Sharia law. They are anti-Western, anti-Semitic, misogynistic and homophobic. They are McCarthy-ite in their demonization of "the other" and Hitler-ite in their propaganda. They undermine weak governments and then thrive in the chaos with money and arms provided by Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria and others. They react not to what we do, but to their own view of the Islamic future. They occasionally claim to want "dialogue" with and "respect" from the United States, but it is a ruse. Not all Muslims are "them," but "they" are Muslims who want to destroy us.
It is neither luck nor Providence - nor a lack of trying by "them" - that has kept the United States free from a second large-scale terrorist attack on our soil. It is neither luck nor Providence that has given the Arab world a model for consensual government in Iraq, despite efforts by al Qaeda and Moktada Sadr to foment a civil war by carrying out atrocities against civilians. It is neither luck nor Providence that preserves Israel in the face of the increasing military capabilities of Hamas and Hezbollah, and Syria's attempts to acquire nuclear capabilities in cooperation with North Korea.
Whatever gains we have in the war against terrorists and the states that harbor and support them are the result of hard work, new laws, and the determination of American government (in both political parties), law enforcement and intelligence officials in cooperation with a determined public. They are the result of the sacrifice of soldiers - brave young men and women who serve their country knowing they may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice for the safety, security and future peace of their families, fellow citizens and people they don't even know.
JINSA has only one priority: a strong and capable United States security establishment working in cooperation with like-minded, democratic allies to ensure the safety and security of ourselves and other freedom-loving people. U.S.-Israel security cooperation is the center of our universe.
It is a hard priority. It would be so much easier and nicer to spend our time thinking about education, health care, welfare, roads and bridges, even the shaky economy. But if we don't get the war right, the rest won't matter.
Please vote today with your priorities in order.
TIFERETH ISRAEL SYNAGOGUE
A tale of two national elections
By J. Zel Lurie
 DELRAY BEACH, Florida —Today the overlong, tedious presidential election campaign is finally over. I hope you voted.
I hope that tonight you will learn that the United States has elected its first Afro-American president. The leader of of the “free world” will have similar skin color to the majority of the citizens of the world, who live in Africa and Asia and South America. That is a blessing and a remarkable shift in the politics of the world.
Tonight you will learn that the question of the Jewish vote was overblown. It never existed.
I learned it a month ago at a Wednesday morning breakfast meeting in Boca Raton of about a hundred retired Jewish men. A pollster looking for a random selection of retired Floridians could not have come up with a better selection. Asked who would vote for the McCain/Palin ticket, 13 men or 13 Percent raised their hand. To my mind, the eloquence of Barack Obama, and his thoughtfulness and sweet temperament, had triumphed.He will get 75 percent of the Jewish vote as John Kerry did four years ago.
This is a crucial election that will decide the fate of the world for the next four years.
In Israel, Tsipi Livni, leader of Kadima failed to form a govenment so there will be a three-month election campaign. Elections will be held on February 10.
Livni had negotiated agreements with Labor and the Pensioners which gave her 59 votes, two less than a majority of the 120 member knsset. She could have governed with the support in votes of confidence of the Israeli Arabs who command 10 seats. But she is in the middle of negotiating peace with Syria and the Palestinians. She needs a solid majority of the Jewish voters for an agreement to hold.
Shas, the religious party which holds 12 seats in the current government, which remains in office until the elections, had two demands. An increase in the stipends paid to poor families for each child and a guarantee that Livni would not negotiate a division of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem was the chief stumbling block. Shas will campaign that they were wiling to sacrifice financial help for the large religious families in order to keep Jerusalem united. Livni's campaign will stress that Shas was trying to blackmail her, that everyone can see that East and West Jerusalem are not united and Jerusalem remains on the table in the negotiations with the Palestinians.
Her chief opponent is Bejamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, head of Likud. He told the Knesset last week: “ I will not negotiate on Jerusaalem which has been the capital of the Jewish people for 3,000 years,”
Twelve years ago Bibi defeated Shimon Peres with the slogan “Peres will divide Jerusalem.” Will it work again? The Israel voters on Feb. 10 will decide. The new President of the United States will take a hand directly or indirectly.
Indeed a very crucial election.
Meanwhile a Russian billionaire has injected a revolutionary idea into the Jerusalem city elections. Arkady Gemanyak, running for Mayor of Jerusalem, is actually campaigning in the Palestinian sections of East Jerusalem. Never happened before.
There are over a quarter million Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem of whom at least one hundred thousand can vote. They are not citizens of Israel so they cannot vote in the national elections. But they have the right to vote in the Jerusalem municipal elections.
They have never exercised their right to vote, not because of fear or oppression like Blacks in some sections of the deep South, but because they did not want to vote in an Israeli election.
When Ehud Olmert won the mayorality from Long-standing Mayor Teddy Kollek, I happened to be staying at the American Colony Hotel in East Jerusalem, which was my favorite hostelry before it became five star. On election day I thought I might visit one of the polling stations. The pollsters said that Teddy needed 20,000 Arab votes, about a fifth of the eligible Arab voters, to overcome Olmert’s lead in West Jerussalem.
I stopped in at the first store on Salah-el Din Street to ask the location of the nearest polling station.
“What polling station?” exclaimed the merchant. “We won’t vote until Palestine is restored and we can vote for a Palestinian.”
There were some polling stations but I never found them. Teddy received a few votes, mostly by municipal workers. Olmert became Mayor of Jerusalem.
Gemanyak is far from being a Palestinian but he has a unique attraction to the Jerusalem Arabs. Unlike all other candidates, he was never an officer in the Israel Army which treats Palestinians as the enemy. He has no record as an Israeli politician. He has a shady past in Angola and France where he made his billions, but that is of no interest to the Palestinians.
Last week Gemanyak spent five hours touring East Jerusalem in his Mercedes-Benz 600. Lily Galili of Haaretz went along. She noted the potholes in the filthy streets, the dirt roads strewn with garbage and the Jewish settlers in Silwan, the City of David. She noted that the tour was being covered by Palestinian TV and that Gemanyak was surrounded by Palestinian security, not to protect him from an angry Arab but from the Jewish settlers.
“The strangest thing about this tour,” wrote Galili, “is its unusual normality in an abnormal situation.”
“All the candidates talk about a unified Jerusalem, but they prove it’s a lie by not campaigning here,” Khaled Nasr Adin, an East Jerusalem business man told Galili, “You won’t find a single campaign poster and a visit by a candidate is unheard of, Except Gemayak. I think I’ll vote this time.”
In Silwan,where ultra right Jews have established an enclave amidst tens of thousands of Palestinians, he defends the right of Jews to live anywhere in the city “but not as a political demonstration” like the Jewish settlers who were glaring at him from their outpost above him. As for the homes threatened with demolition he soothed them with talk of permits and licenses. He promises a construction and development policy when he is Mayor,
How many residents of East Jerusalem will go out to vote for him? Asks Galili. The answer could make a radical change in Jerusalem.

THE JEWISH CITIZEN
Especially in tight times, Tel Aviv history holds hope for fundraisers for the arts
By Donald H. Harrison
 TEL AVIV—In times of tight government budgets, or difficult economies, champions of the arts always have good reason to fear. What is more likely to get cut than music programs or funds for museums? But then again, pessimists holding to this way of thinking are not familiar with the stories of two of Tel Aviv's most cherished institutions: its historic art museum and the Mann Auditorium.
Meggie Navon, a development director for the Tel Aviv Foundation, related the tales while conducting a tour of the historic city which next year will celebrate its 100th birthday.
She said that Meir Dizengoff, a businessman who was elected as the first mayor of Tel Aviv, built for himself a large home on Rothschild Boulevard, a home that was big enough to permit the City Council to hold its meetings there.
One year, the artist Marc Chagall visited the relatively young Jewish city and asked how it was that it had no museum for art. As the story goes, Dizengoff spread his arms apologetically and said he had no place to put such a museum.
Chagall looked over Dizengoff's large mansion and suggested that the house would provide very well for an art museum if the Dizengoffs themselves would kindly move to a single room. Of course, it was a chutzpadik thing to say, even for an artist as renown as Chagall. But Dizengoff and his wife Tzina agreed to the request, limiting themselves to just a single room within the mansion.
Navon said Chagall also made another suggestion: the art museum should decide from the outset that it would not purchase a single piece of art; that it would build its collection solely on donated art. Whereupon, Chagall added that he would be happy to personally donate three of his works in furtherance of this policy.
When David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the independence of Israel in 1948, he did so from a dais that had been erected within the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Navon said if people will look closely at the photograph of Ben-Gurion making the famous declaration, they will note art works in the background.
In the 1930s, following the rise of the Nazis to power in Germany, Jewish violinist Bronislaw Huberman spoke with Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini about the dire prospects of Jewish musicians. They decided to work together to encourage Jewish members of European orchestras to immigrate to British Mandatory Palestine.
Toscanini and Huberman were so prestigious, many musicians made the move to Palestine, thus saving their lives.. But the problem was that there was no venue where they can play. So Toscanini and Huberman made entreaties to Dizengoff. Please, they said, provide us with a place to play.
Again the mayor was apologetic, saying there simply was no place—except perhaps the sand dunes at the end of Rothschild Boulevard. The musicians instantly agreed, urging the city to set up chairs and other furnishings for a performance of the newly assembled Palestine Orchestra in December 1936.
That orchestra was the forerunner of the Israeli Philharmonic. Dizengoff's successor as mayor, Israel Rokah traveled to Philadelphia and persuaded philanthropist Fredric Mann to donate $3 million for a symphony hall and pavilion. The dunes by the beach in 1957 became the site of the Fredric R. Mann Auditorium.
Now Tel Aviv is planning a centennial celebration that will begin April 4, 2008 and last through the calendar year. Jewish communities in various cities in the United States, including San Diego, are planning celebratory dinners in connection with the centennial, in the expectation that they will be able to make a gift to Tel Aviv in celebration of its 100th birthday.
Navon said that the effort in San Diego will be co-chaired by Jeffrey and Vivian Ressler and by Shlomo and Leslie Caspi, with the opening night dinner scheduled May 21 at the La Jolla Marriott. The goal will be to raise $300,000 to finance a new pre-kindergarten school for 70 children in a disadvantaged neighborhood of Tel Aviv.
Theodor Herzl once said "if you will it, it is no dream." All these years later, his words may be a timely reminder for fundraisers for the arts everywhere.

SONGS OF OUR PEOPLE
David and Goliath's epic battle in music
Albert Hay Malotte, Music, lyrics by E.M.Robinson; based on Book of Samuel, chapter I: verse 17 Sheldon Merel, Tenor, Kenneth Fall, Piano
To hear Cantor Merel's David and Goliath, please click here
By Cantor Sheldon Merel
 SAN DIEGO— “He let fly a pebble and the giant dropped dead! (Closing words of the song).A single stone thrown with his sling-shot killed the giant, Goliath! That dramatic moment changed David’s life and the course of Jewish history.
As the Philistine army gathered for war against Israel, the Philistine giant, Goliath, measuring over nine feet tall, appeared twice a day for forty days to challenge the Israelites to send a champion to face him in single combat to decide the outcome of the battle. He seemed invincible, and even King Saul, the tallest man in his army refused to fight.
And then by chance, along came young David, bringing food to his two soldier brothers. When he realized that no one was taking up Goliath’s challenge, David immediately volunteered to stand up for his people. (Talk about chutzpah!!!) At first, King Saul hesitated to send this inexperienced teen-ager to fight the heavily armored Goliath, but since no one else had stepped forward, finally agreed. Saul offered David armor to wear, but David felt it would be too cumbersome, and preferred his simple tunic and slingshot, with which he was very skilled. The giant cursed David, shouted threats and insults, but David didn't stop or waver. As Goliath moved in for the kill, David went to the brook, picked up five stones and slung one at Goliath's head. The stone sank into the giant's forehead and he dropped dead! David took Goliath’s sword and severed his head. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
Lyricist, Edwin Robinson, and composer Albert Hay Malotte created their version of this story to be sung as a rousing sermon by a dramatic and over-zealous Preacher. Robinson’s lyrics may have strayed just a bit from the biblical text, but with Malotte's brilliant and exciting piano accompaniment they succeed in bringing the story to life, with new insights into the brashness of David and the cockiness of Goliath.
This recording of David and Goliath is on my CD, Standing Ovation.
