It\’s been a month of extremes for the National Conference of Synagogue Youth (NCSY) on the West Coast. As the Orthodox youth group basks in the joy of moving into its own building, it is also reeling from the shock of a scandal involving an East Coast regional director allegedly abusing teens.

While the adults are talking up the \”sense of permanence\” and \”central address,\” Miriam Segura has a simpler way of expressing the significance of the National Conference of Synagogue Youth\’s (NCSY) new building – hanging out.

Serious Matters and the Mind/Heart Problem
Jewish Journal

The cover story, \”The Final Taboo,\” in this issue caused a certain amount of soul searching in our offices this week. Not that we questioned the piece or the reporting itself. Everyone had only praise for Religion Editor Julie Gruenbaum Fax, and the research and writing that went into her story. First rate.\nWe were definitely going to run it.

However, it was his view that the 100,000-plus readers of The Jewish Week of New York took away from the events of that tragic day.

In the waning hours of Yom Kippur, the last rays of sun cast long shadows through the stained-glass windows. It is time for \”Ne\’ila,\” the final prayer in a day filled with prayer, when the gates on high, opened especially wide for this day, begin their final closing.
