Israel Under Siege

Henry A. Waxman September 6, 2001

On the news it\’s easy to find sickening evidence of the terrorist war being waged against Israel; harder to find, but no less real, are other insidious assaults that are growing in number and venom. This week, the United Nations World Conference Against Racism, which convened in South Africa, was transformed into a forum for vicious anti-Israel accusations. And in Israel itself, the Temple Mount is the focus of a relentless archaeological attack designed to rewrite history.

Jewish Art Makeover

Julie Wiener September 6, 2001

A women\’s tefillin set with a beaded velvet box and blue satin straps.

A silver \”Kiddush\” cup in which ceremonial wine passes through a delicately crafted silver net formed from the Hebrew word for \”blessed.\”

A sukkah with brightly painted walls made of the long, plastic

strips found in industrial-sized refrigerators — and furnished with stools and a mirrored table symbolizing the self-reflection expected during the High Holy Days.

A Mitzvah Resolution

Rabbi Dov Fischer September 6, 2001

In October 1999, I went through the personal tragedy of a divorce. I felt personally lost, very much alone. A lady in my congregational community, Lilly Kahn-Rose, approached me one Shabbat soon after, offering to help me in some way. I responded: \”Please invite me and my children for some Shabbat meals, and please help me get some Shabbat meal invitations from others in the community. I can buy cold cuts, side dishes, and challah, can recite kiddush and lead z\’mirot melodies, but it is going to be so lonely and feel so minimalist in our apartment. Please help me get me some Shabbat invitations.\”

Fuzz

Marlene Adler Marks September 6, 2001

A day before I left for a vacation cruise to Alaska, I looked in the mirror and spied, atop my clean, bald head — Hair! There wasn\’t much of it, standing less than one-sixteenth of an inch tall. But when I ran my hand over my crown, I felt the delicious tickle of stubble.

\”It\’s back!\” I cried to my friend Susan, who was lending me a gown for the cruise\’s formal night. We jumped up and down the way we did in high school when the latest \”he\” called. I\’ve been a cue ball since Day 12 of my first round of chemo. All my hair is gone, including eyebrows and lashes. The only really bad part, aside from looking like a Conehead, is the way drafts of cold air make my forehead feel glacial. In Alaska, I spent time looking for bald eagles, seeking to join their minyan.
