Farewell to Jerusalem Sacred Music Festival 2014
2014 brought the winds of war to our region, throwing a shadow over the festival that threated to unravel the delicate fabric and ideals upon which it is based. But despite this, international and local artists came to Jerusalem imbued with a sense of commitment and a renewed belief in the message that calls on the Middle East' peoples to open their hearts and allow music to unite us.
In what is now an annual tradition, the festival offers unique experiences that bring together international and Israeli artists in performances under a canopy of stars, opposite Jerusalem's ancient walls and in houses of prayer. Each year we invite audiences to take part in "A Night Stroll," a magical white night at the Tower of David comprising performances, ceremonies, some whispering and a series of "Testimony Encounters" — guided tours that trace the sacred sounds that play year-round in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Day, 2015: Rightful Owners of the Temple Mount
The holiday known as 'Jerusalem Day' is observed in Israel every year on the Hebrew date of Iyar 28 – the day corresponding with June 7th, 1967 on which the city of Jerusalem was liberated and united by the paratrooper brigade of the Israel Defense Forces in the Six Day War.
48 years later to the day, on May 17th, 2015, a crowd numbering 1,000 Jews converged at the gate of the Temple Mount, eager to ascend the mountain in joyous acknowledgment of the miraculous return of the city to Jewish sovereignty and in fulfillment of the Biblical commandment to revere the place of the Holy Temple. Most of all, they came to pray at the holy site.
The discriminatory practices and self-styled, anti-democratic 'rules' of the police prevented Jewish prayer, but once again fully allowed the demonic incitement of crowds of Muslim thugs and mercenaries who dogged every step of the Jewish pilgrims on the Mount and generally did their best to cause the Jews misery. And while the Jewish worshipers waited on line in the sun for as long as three hours for a chance to ascend even briefly on this special day, many were turned away in disappointment.
But the Jews who gathered that morning at the Mugrabi Gate waiting to ascend to the Temple Mount had the honor of welcoming and hearing a hero in their midst: renowned Torah scholar Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, founder and president of the Temple Institute, was himself an IDF paratrooper who fought for the liberation of the Temple Mount on this very day, 48 years ago. The rabbi addressed the enthusiastic crowd and spoke of his experiences as a soldier in this very spot on that fateful day. Rabbi Ariel recalled his fallen comrades who gave their lives for the return of the Temple Mount to the Jewish people, and encouraged the assembled to continue in the heroes' footsteps by demonstrating Jewish presence and rightful ownership of the Mount.

Jerusalem of Gold – Yerushalayim shel Zahav -Ofra Haza- with English Lyrics
"Jerusalem of Gold" (Hebrew: ירושלים של זהב, Yerushalayim Shel Zahav) is a popular Israeli song written by Naomi Shemer in 1967. The original song described the Jewish people's 2000-year longing to return to Jerusalem; Shemer added a final verse after the Six-Day War to celebrate Jerusalem's unification under Israeli control.
At that time, the Old City was under Jordanian rule; Jews had been barred from entering, and many holy sites had been desecrated. Only three weeks after the song was published, the Six-Day War broke out. The song was the battle cry and morale booster of the Israeli troops. Shemer even sang it for them before the war and festival, making them among the first in the world to hear it. On 7 June, the Israel Defense Forces captured the eastern part of Jerusalem and the Old City from the Jordanians. When Shemer heard the paratroopers singing "Jerusalem of Gold" at the Western Wall, she wrote a final verse, reversing the phrases of lamentation found in the second verse. The line about shofars sounding from the Temple Mount is a reference to an event that actually took place on 7 June.
This beautiful version is from the late OFRA HAZA.

The Festival of Shavuot
Intimately connected to the land of Israel, Shavuot is the festival of the bringing of the first-fruits to the Holy Temple. Shavuot is also the anniversary of the Sinai revelation and the receiving of Torah by Israel, and since the destruction of the Holy Temple the emphasis of Shavuot has been Torah study. Ultimately, Torah study and the bringing of the first-fruits are both expressions of the centrality of Torah in our lives. When we build the Holy Temple we best exemplify the fulfillment of Torah in this world by the bringing of the first-fruits.

Prominent NY Rabbi Arthur Schneier Honored With Papal Knighthood
Lenny Bruce famously said that even a Catholic in New York is Jewish, but that didn't stop one of the city's most prominent Jewish leaders from accepting a touch of the Holy See on Monday.
Rabbi Arthur Schneier of Manhattan's Park East Synagogue was knighted and made a member of the Papal Order of St. Sylvester at a ceremony on the Upper East Side, joining luminaries such as industrialist Oskar Schindler and comedian Bob Hope who have held the title.
"It's Pope Francis' very touching and tender way of confirming [Rabbi Schneier] and the good works that he's done on behalf of religious freedom, international peace and justice," said longtime pal and neighbor Cardinal Timothy Dolan, head of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.
The cardinal grinned broadly as he pinned the order's gold cross to the 84-year-old Holocaust survivor's lapel. "It's an honor."
During his career, Rabbi Schneier campaigned vigorously alongside other faith leaders for greater religious freedom and tolerance, as well as helping to build ties between Jews and Roman Catholics following World War II.
"In 1965, in the height of religious persecution in the Soviet Union, I mobilized with Robert Kennedy religious leaders of all faiths in an appeal to our first religious freedom mission to Moscow, but via Rome," Rabbi Schneier said. "We need to strive together…for a world of mutual acceptance—not tolerance, acceptance."
Rabbi Schneier has been associated with the Park East Synagogue since 1962.
After the ceremony, the new knight shared a Champagne toast with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former Mayor David Dinkins and former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, as well as half a dozen of the city's most prominent religious leaders.
"I'm here to pay tribute to a dear friend and a good leader," Dr. Kissinger said. "He's contributed to the solution of one our great problems," promoting peace between the major world faiths.
The knighthood, which may be bestowed on Catholics and non-Catholics alike, is intended to honor significant contributions to humanity.
The ancient order's origin is somewhat murky, though it apparently was first intended to honor lay Catholics who showed intense devotion to the church.
In 1905, Pope Pius X changed the Order of St. Sylvester to include non-Catholic honorees, separating it from the so-called Golden Militia, of which it had previously been a part.
In addition to the gold cross, the official St. Sylvester regalia includes a red-and-black uniform and a sword.
"You mentioned about my getting a sword? I have a problem with a sword, though," Rabbi Schneier insisted. "I'm for peace!"
"Turn it into a plowshare," Cardinal Dolan suggested.

Yom Yerushalayim (Jerusalem Day) in Israel
Sun May 17 2015
Yom Yerushalayim, also known as Jerusalem Day, commemorates Jerusalem's reunification in 1967. This day begins on 28th day of the month of Iyyar in the Hebrew calendar.
Jerusalem Day
Jerusalem Day (Hebrew: יום ירושלים, Yom Yerushalayim) is an Israeli national holiday commemorating the reunification of Jerusalemand the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City in the aftermath of the June 1967 Six-Day War. The day is officially marked by state ceremonies and memorial services. The Chief Rabbinate of Israel declared Jerusalem Day a minor religious holiday to mark the regaining of access to the Western Wall.[1] While the day has lost its significance for most secular Israelis,[2][3][4] the day is still very much celebrated by Israel's Religious Zionist community[5][6] with parades and additional prayers in the synagogue.Photo by Wikipedia

A new anti-Semitism? Why thousands of Jewish citizens are leaving France
Some Jewish citizens in France say there is a rising tide of a new, more dangerous anti-Semitism in the country. In turn, thousands are leaving for Israel and other countries. In an effort to reassure Jewish people in France that they are safe, the government has taken strict measures against anti-Semitic demonstrations. Special correspondent Martin Seemungal reports.
Why have anti-Semitic attacks on French Jews nearly doubled in one year?
Last month's terror attack at a Kosher supermarket in Paris called attention to rising anti-Semitism in France. This week, attackers slashed three soldiers guarding a Jewish community center in Nice. French authorities believe a small number of radicalized young men from North Africa are responsible for a disproportio

Turkey's Great Synagogue inaugurated after restoration
The Great Synagogue, which is considered the third largest in the Europe and the largest in Turkey, has been inaugurated for worship after a-four-year-long restoration in northwestern Edirne province of Turkey on March 26, 2015. The synagogue was in use until 1983 and the restoration was launched by Turkey's General Directorate of Foundations. (Footage by Salih Baran / Anadolu Agency)
Historical synagogue in Turkey's northwest to open soon
A historical synagogue, the subject of an outcry due to a governor's remarks to turn it into a museum, is waiting to be reopened for services at the end of the month.
The Great Synagogue, in the northwestern province of Edirne, will open on March 26, after undergoing a four year restoration.
Jewish community head, İshak İbrahimzadeh, who visited the synagogue before the opening ceremony, said the opening of the restored synagogue was a milestone that made him very happy.
Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç and Turkey's chief rabbi, İshak Haleva, will attend the opening, along with many other Jewish community members from both Turkey and abroad.
As Europe's second largest synagogue, the Edirne Synagogue was built in 1907 after a widespread fire in 1905 that burnt down 13 separate synagogues. The synagogue was constructed using the architectural model of Vienna's Leopoldstadter Tempel and abandoned in 1983.
The temple was transferred to Thrace University to be used as a museum after its restoration but after much criticism from the Jewish community in Turkey, the building was transferred back to the General Directorate for Foundations.
Edirne Gov. Dursun Şahin created uproar when he told reporters on Nov. 21, 2014, that the synagogue would be turned into a museum, citing the recent Israeli raid on the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
"While those bandits blow winds of war inside al-Aqsa and slay Muslims, we build their synagogues," Şahin said.
Şahin later offered an "apology" to Haleva, claiming that his proposal to turn the synagogue into a museum as a reprisal for Israel's policies over Jerusalem's al-Aqsa Mosque "had no connection" to the Turkish Jewish community.

YOUR HOLIDAY GUIDE: Passover 5775 – 2015 (April 3-11, 2015)
Your Passover Guide – 2015
Operation Zero Chametz
Passover is a holiday that mandates our complete involvement, not just during its eight days but for weeks before. Aside from the regular holiday obligations, we are also commanded (Exodus 13:3–7): "No leaven shall be eaten . . . For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread . . . and no leaven shall be seen of yours [in your possession]."
We accomplish this by cleaning and inspecting our homes well before Passover, and gradually eliminating chametz from every room and crevice. This intensive cleaning takes place in Jewish homes throughout the world.
What is Chametz?
Chametz is any food product made from wheat, barley, rye, oats, spelt, or their derivatives, which has leavened (risen). Our sages have determined that flour from any of these five grains that comes in contact with water or moisture will leaven, unless fully baked within eighteen minutes. As we are commanded by the Torah, if a food contains even a trace of chametz, we don't eat it, we don't derive benefit from it, and we make sure not to have any of it in our possession for all the days of Passover.
To be certain that a product is kosher for Passover, it must have rabbinical certification. Otherwise it is possible that it contains chametz ingredients, or traces of chametz if it was processed on the same equipment as chametz products. Thus, unless a product is certified Kosher for Passover, we consider it chametz, and make sure not to have it in our possession on Passover.
Note: Matzah used all year round might be pure chametz, and not for Passover use. Only matzahs baked especially for Passover may be used on Passover.
The medieval Jewish sages placed a ban on eating legumes (kitniyot) on Passover, because they are similar in texture to chametz—even bread can be made out of their flour—so people might assume that if, for example, cornbread can be eaten on Passover, wheat or rye bread can be eaten too. This prohibition includes rice, beans and corn. This injunction was unanimously accepted by Ashkenazic Jews; many Sephardic Jews, however, continue to eat kitniyot on Passover. If you are Sephardic, speak to your rabbi to determine your family and community tradition.
The prohibition is only with regards to consumption ofkitniyot; there is no obligation, however, to destroy or sell kitniyot products before Passover.
Getting Rid of Chametz
Search and Destroy
If You Can't Destroy it, Sell It
Preparing the Kitchen
Every part of our homes is cleaned for Passover, but we pay special attention to the kitchen, because (a) that's where most of our chametz hangs out during the year, and (b) we will be using our kitchens to prepare our Passover food.
Dishes and Utensils
Microwave Ovens
To use the microwave during Passover, use a flat, thick, microwave-safe object as a separation between the bottom of the oven and the cooking dish. When cooking or warming, the food should be covered on all sides.
Refrigerator, Freezer, Cupboards, Closets, Tables, and Counters
Tablecloths and Napkins
Cars, Garages, etc.
Passover Shopping
While shopping for Passover we must be careful that the foods we buy are not only kosher, but are also kosher for Passover—that is, chametz-free.
Starting "From Scratch"
All fruits and vegetables, as well as all kosher cuts of meat and kosher fish, are kosher for Passover, provided they have been prepared in accordance with Jewish law and have not come into contact withchametz or chametz utensils.
The prevailing custom in Ashkenazi communities is that on Passover we do not eat rice, millet, corn, mustard, legumes (beans, etc.) or food made from any of these.
Commercially Prepared Products
Today there are many kosher-for-Passover packaged foods available. However, care must be used to purchase only those packaged foods that have reliable rabbinical supervision which is valid for Passover.
Obviously, all leavened foods made from—or that contain among their ingredients—wheat, barley, rye, oats, or spelt are actual chametz and are prohibited on Passover. Examples are bread, cake, cereal, spaghetti, beer and whiskey.
Check That Medicine Cabinet!
Many medicines, sprays, and cosmetics contain chametz. Consult a competent rabbi as to which ones may be used on Passover. The same applies to pet food.

The Seder Ingredients
Matzah, the "Food of Faith"
The Humblest of Foods
One of the holiday's primary obligations is to eat matzah during the Seder. It is strongly recommended to use shmurah matzah to fulfill this commandment.
Matzah is eaten three times during the Seder:
In each instance, the matzah should be eaten within 4 minutes.
How much is one ounce of Matzah?
If store-bought matzot are used, the weight of the box of matzot divided by the number of pieces shows how much matzah is the equivalent of one ounce.
Shmurah Matzah
Shmurah means "watched," and it is an apt description of this matzah, the ingredients of which (the flour and water) are watched from the moment of harvesting and drawing.
The day chosen for the harvesting of the wheat is a clear, dry day. The moment it is harvested, the wheat is inspected to ensure that there is absolutely no moisture. From then on, careful watch is kept upon the grains as they are transported to the mill. The mill is meticulously inspected by rabbis and supervision professionals to ensure that every piece of equipment is absolutely clean and dry. After the wheat is milled, the flour is again guarded in its transportation to the bakery. Thus, from the moment of harvesting through the actual baking of the matzah, the flour is carefully watched to ensure against any contact with water.
The water, too, is carefully guarded to prevent any contact with wheat or other grain. It is drawn the night before the baking, and kept pure until the moment it is mixed with the flour to bake the shmurah matzah.
Also in the bakery itself, shmurah matzot are under strict supervision to avoid any possibility of leavening during the baking process. This intensive process and careful guarding gives the shmurah matzah an added infusion of faith and sanctity—in fact, as the matzah is being made, all those involved constantly repeat, "L'shem matzot mitzvah"—"We are doing this for the sake of the mitzvah of matzah."
Shmurah matzot are round, kneaded and shaped by hand, and are similar to the matzot that were baked by the Children of Israel as they left Egypt. It is thus fitting to useshmurah matzah on each of the two Seder nights for the matzot of the Seder plate.

Passover Wine
For each of the four cups at the Seder, it is preferable to use undiluted wine. However, if needed, the wine may be diluted with grape juice. (One who cannot drink wine may use grape juice alone.)
One drinks a cup of wine four times during the Seder:
It is preferable to drink the entire cup each time. However, it is sufficient to drink only the majority of each cup.
How large a cup should be used? One that contains at least 3½ fluid ounces.
The Bitter Herbs
The bitter herbs are eaten once after the matzah (step 9 of the Seder), and then again with matzah in the Korech sandwich (step 10).
How much bitter herbs should one eat each time? Three-quarters of an ounce (a little more than 7 grams).
Either of two different types of bitter herbs may be used at the Seder, individually or in combination:

Introduction to the Seder Plate
Preparing the items for the Seder plate requires some time. It is best to prepare all the Seder foods before the onset of the holiday, in order to avoid halachic questions.
Three matzot are placed on top of each other on a plate or napkin, and then covered. (Some also have the custom to separate the matzot from each other with interleaved plates, napkins or the like.)
The matzot are symbolic of the three castes of Jews: Priests, Levites, and Israelites. They also commemorate the three measures of fine flour that Abraham told Sarah to bake into matzah when they were visited by the three angels (Genesis 18:6).
On a practical level, three matzot are needed so that when we break the middle matzah, we are still left with two whole ones to pronounce the hamotzi blessing (as required on Shabbat and holidays).
On a cloth or plate placed above the three matzot, we place the following items:
The Shank Bone
A piece of roasted meat represents the lamb that was the special Paschal sacrifice on the eve of the exodus from Egypt, and annually, on the afternoon before Passover, in the Holy Temple.
Since we can't offer the Paschal sacrifice in the absence of the Holy Temple, we take care to use something that is relatively dissimilar to the actual offering. Accordingly, many communities have the custom to use a roasted chicken neck or the like.
Preparation: Roast the neck on all sides over an open fire on the stove. Afterwards, some have the custom to remove the majority of the meat of the neck.
Role in the Seder: The shank bone is not eaten. After the meal it is refrigerated, and used a second time on the Seder plate the following night.
The Egg
A hard-boiled egg represents the holiday offering brought in the days of the Holy Temple. The meat of this animal constituted the main part of the Passover meal.
Preparation: Boil one egg per Seder plate, and possibly more for use during the meal.
Role in the Seder: Place one egg on each plate. As soon as the actual meal is about to begin, remove the egg from the Seder plate and use during the meal.
A popular way of eating these eggs is to chop and mix them with the saltwater which was set on the table. The eggs prepared this way are then served as an appetizer before the fish.
The Bitter Herbs
Bitter herbs (maror) remind us of the bitterness of the slavery of our forefathers in Egypt. Fresh grated horseradish, romaine lettuce, and endive are the most common choices.
Preparation: This must be done before the holiday begins. Peel the raw horseradish roots, and rinse them off well.
Note: Dry the roots very carefully, since they will be eaten with the matzah later on for the korech sandwich; to avoidgebrokts, not even a drop of water should be left on the horseradish.
Next, grate the horseradish with a hand grater or electric grinder. (Whoever will be grating the horseradish will begin to shed copious tears or cough a lot. Covering the face with a cloth from the eyes downwards helps prevent inhalation of the strong, bitter odor.)
The lettuce or endive leaves must be washed, carefully checked for insects, and thoroughly dried. You can instead use just the stalks, which are easier to clean and check.
Place the horseradish on the Seder plate, on top of a few cleaned, dried leaves of romaine lettuce.
Role in the Seder: After the recital of most of the haggadah comes the ritual handwashing. Then matzah is eaten, followed by some maror, followed in turn by a sandwich of matzah and maror.
The Paste
A mixture of apples, nuts and wine which resembles the mortar and brick made by the Jews when they toiled for Pharaoh.
Preparation: Shell walnuts and peel apples and chop finely. Mix together and add a small amount of wine.
Role in the Seder: This is used as a type of relish into which the maror is dipped (and then shaken off) before eating.
The Vegetable
A non-bitter root vegetable alludes to the backbreaking work of the Jews as slaves. The Hebrew letters of the word karpas can be arranged to spell "perech samech."
Perech means backbreaking work, and samech is numerically equivalent to 60, referring to 60 myriads, equaling 600,000, which was the number of Jewish males over 20 years of age who were enslaved in Egypt.
Preparation: Peel an onion or boiled potato. Cut off a slice and place on Seder plate. On the table, next to the Seder plate, place a small bowl of salted water.
Role in the Seder: After recital of kiddush, the family goes to the sink and ritually washes hands, but without saying the usual blessing.
Then the head of the household cuts a small piece of the root vegetable used, dips it in saltwater, and gives each person at the table a very small piece over which they say the appropriate blessing. Care should be taken that each person eats less than 17 grams (about ½ ounce).
The Lettuce
The lettuce symbolizes the bitter enslavement of our fathers in Egypt. The leaves of romaine lettuce are not bitter, but the stem, when left to grow in the ground, turns hard and bitter.
So it was with our enslavement in Egypt. At first the deceitful approach of Pharaoh was soft and sensible, and the work was done voluntarily and even for pay. Gradually, it evolved into forced and cruel labor.
Preparation: Romaine lettuce is often very sandy. Wash each of the leaves separately, checking very carefully for insects. (Pat gently with a towel and let sit until completely dry, so that there will be no moisture to come in contact with the matzah.)
Depending on how much romaine lettuce is needed, it can take several hours to prepare. This task should be completed before candle-lighting time on the first night. Prepare enough leaves for both nights and store in the refrigerator. Soaking of the romaine leaves may not be done on the holiday.
Role in the Seder: The lettuce is used in conjunction with horseradish. It is used when eating the maror and when eating the matzah-and-maror sandwich.
Place the leaves in two piles on the Seder plate, one under the maror and one separately at the bottom.
Keep a stack of extra cleaned leaves handy in the refrigerator in case additional leaves are needed.
The Seder Service in a Nutshell
Click here for a more detailed Seder wizard, and here for a spiritual guide to the Seder.
In Our Forefathers' Footsteps
At the Seder, every person should see himself as if he were going out of Egypt. Beginning with our Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, we recount the Jewish people's descent into Egypt and recall their suffering and persecution. We are with them as G‑d sends the Ten Plagues to punish Pharaoh and his nation, and follow along as they leave Egypt and cross the Sea of Reeds. We witness the miraculous hand of G‑d as the waters part to allow the Israelites to pass, then return to inundate the Egyptian legions.
Kadesh—the Benediction
The Seder service begins with the recitation of kiddush, proclaiming the holiness of the holiday. This is done over a cup of wine, the first of the four cups we will drink (while reclining) at the Seder.
The Four Cups of Wine
Why four cups? The Torah uses four expressions of freedom or deliverance in connection with our liberation from Egypt (see Exodus 6:6–7). Also, the Children of Israel had four great merits even while in exile: (1) They did not change their Hebrew names; (2) they continued to speak their own language, Hebrew; (3) they remained highly moral; (4) they remained loyal to one another.
Wine is used because it is a symbol of joy and happiness.
Why We Recline
When drinking the four cups and eating the matzah, we lean on our left side to accentuate the fact that we are free people. In ancient times only free people had the luxury of reclining while eating.
We wash our hands in the usual, ritually prescribed manner as is done before a meal, but without the customary blessing.
The next step in the Seder, Karpas, requires dipping food into water, which in turn mandates, according to Jewish law, that either the food be eaten with a utensil or that one's hands be purified by washing. On the Seder eve we choose the less common observance to arouse the child's curiosity.
Karpas—the "Appetizer"
A small piece of onion or boiled potato is dipped into saltwater and eaten (after reciting the blessing over vegetables).
Dipping the karpas in saltwater is an act of pleasure and freedom, which further arouses the child's curiosity.
The Hebrew word karpas, when read backwards, alludes to the backbreaking labor performed by the 600,000 Jews in Egypt. [Samech has the numerical equivalent of 60 (representing 60 times 10,000), while the last three Hebrew letters spell perech, hard work.]
The saltwater represents the tears of our ancestors in Egypt.
Yachatz—Breaking the Matzah
The middle matzah on the Seder plate is broken in two. The larger part is put aside for later use as the afikoman. This unusual action not only attracts the child's attention once again, but also recalls G‑d's splitting of the Sea of Reeds to allow the Children of Israel to cross on dry land. The smaller part of the middle matzah is returned to the Seder plate. This broken middle matzah symbolizes humility, and will be eaten later as the "bread of poverty."
Maggid—the Haggadah
At this point, the poor are invited to join the Seder. The Seder tray is moved aside, a second cup of wine is poured, and the child, who by now is bursting with curiosity, asks the time-honored question: "Mah nishtanah ha-lailah hazeh mikol ha-leilot? Why is this night different from all other nights?" Why only matzah? Why the dipping? Why the bitter herbs? Why are we relaxing and leaning on cushions as if we were kings?
The child's questioning triggers one of the most significant mitzvot of Passover, which is the highlight of the Seder ceremony: the haggadah, telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The answer includes a brief review of history, a description of the suffering imposed upon the Israelites, a listing of the plagues visited on the Egyptians, and an enumeration of the miracles performed by the Almighty for the redemption of His people.
Rochtzah—Washing Before the Meal
After concluding the first part of the haggadah by drinking the second cup of wine (while reclining), the hands are washed again, this time with the customary blessings, as is usually done before eating bread.
Motzi Matzah—We Eat the Matzah
Taking hold of the three matzot (with the broken one between the two whole ones), recite the customary blessing before bread. Then, letting the bottom matzah drop back onto the plate, and holding the top whole matzah with the broken middle one, recite the special blessing "al achilat matzah." Then break at least one ounce from each matzah and eat the two pieces together, while reclining.
Maror—the Bitter Herbs
Take at least one ounce of the bitter herbs. Dip it in the charoset, then shake the latter off and make the blessing "al achilat maror." Eat without reclining.
Korech—the Sandwich
In keeping with the custom instituted by Hillel, the great Talmudic sage, a sandwich of matzah and maror is eaten. Break off two pieces of the bottom matzah, which together should be at least one ounce. Again, take at least one ounce of bitter herbs and dip them in the charoset. Place this between the two pieces of matzah, say "kein asah Hillel . . ." and eat the sandwich while reclining.
Shulchan Orech—the Feast
The holiday meal is now served. We begin the meal with a hard-boiled egg dipped into saltwater.
A rabbi was once asked why Jews eat eggs on Passover. "Because eggs symbolize the Jew," the rabbi answered. "The more an egg is burned or boiled, the harder it gets."
Note: The chicken neck is not eaten at the Seder.
Tzafun—Out of Hiding
After the meal, the half-matzah which had been "hidden," set aside for the afikoman("dessert"), is taken out and eaten. It symbolizes the Paschal lamb, which was eaten at the end of the meal.
Everyone should eat at least 1½ ounces of matzah, reclining, before midnight. After eating the afikoman, we do not eat or drink anything except for the two remaining cups of wine.
Berach—Blessings After the Meal
A third cup of wine is filled and Grace is recited. After the Grace we recite the blessing over wine and drink the third cup while reclining.
Now we fill the cup of Elijah and our own cups with wine. We open the door and recite the passage which is an invitation to the Prophet Elijah, the harbinger of the coming of Moshiach, our righteous Messiah.
Hallel—Songs of Praise
At this point, having recognized the Almighty and His unique guidance of the Jewish people, we go still further and sing His praises as L‑rd of the entire universe.
After reciting the Hallel, we again recite the blessing over wine and drink the fourth cup, reclining.
Having carried out the Seder service properly, we are sure that it has been well received by the Almighty. We then say "Leshanah haba'ah bee-rushalayim—Next year in Jerusalem."

"Then Feed Just One" Packing Day This Saturday
Poverty and hunger are real. Palo Alto County residents can help make a difference this weekend.
Then Feed Just One, Palo Alto County Packing Event is Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Palo Alto County Fairgrounds.
"Help us package high quality, highly nutritious and tasty meals to send around the world to help fight world hunger," said Lana Williams, a volunteer from the First United Methodist Church in Emmetsburg.
Volunteer teams will be packaging meals that include fortified chicken-flavored casserole mix with seven dried vegetables and over 20 vitamins and minerals.
Each 13.8 ounce package contains six one-cup meals. Jobs include scooping food flavor, weighing bags, sealing the bags, packing bags into boxes and palleting.
There are three shifts available for volunteers from fifth grade and up:?8:30 to 10 a.m., 10 to 11:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. To sign up, contact Lois Stanley at 852-2692, firstname.lastname@example.com or Bonnie Whitney at 852-9160, firstname.lastname@example.com. Monetary donations are also accepted.
Each team member will donate $30. This amount will cover the cost of the food and shipping.
"Food will go to Haiti, Guatemala and Honduras, the three poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere," said Ted Ellis, who was part of a mission to Honduras in March. "In Honduras, some of the food will most likely go to the Tolupan Indians of the Montana de la Flor area where children born have a 20-percent chance to make it to age five. Our goal is to make 100,000 packages that will make 600,000 meals. I challenge you to push over our goal."
Then Feed Just One is a nonprofit, mobile food packing program based in LeMars. They assist groups in working to alleviate world hunger.
The name, Then Feed Just One, originates from a quote from Mother Teresa:?"If you can't feed a hundred people, Then Feed Just One."

A winter season in 7 days? Sort of
20.2 inches of snow fell in KC in past week
As you look out on the snowbanks lining your streets and driveways, it may seem to you like winter was compacted into one week here in Kansas City.
Well, of course, we know the true calendar season for winter, but official weather records have certainly put THIS winter in a different light.
The National Weather Service released data on the snowiest 7-day period in Kansas City.
The most snowfall for a week in Kansas City was recorded in March 1912, when 25.1 inches dropped on the city.
But the two massive snowstorms that barreled through last Thursday and again on Tuesday combined for 20.2 inches of snow, making it the second snowiest week on record in KC.
"That's about average for an entire winter. So that's a lot of snow," KMBC weatherman Joel Nichols said. "We're up to about 25 inches of snow for the winter."
Our recent winter storms surpassed a week in January 1962 when 19.8 inches of snow fell.

- Unable to turn the ignition key
- Steering column fails to move in or out
- Steering wheel fails to change angle or even falls on your lap!
We were the first and and also The Only Company in the World that actually Repair the Range Rover L322 Steering Column & Control Unit or Steering Column ECU!
We have extensive stocks of all the required parts.
Please beware of hobbyists that sell second hand steering columns that they have "tested" via eBay and the likes - We have repaired many of these units which have failed - they cost more than our repairs too!
If you are unable to turn the ignition key there is one thing that may allow your continued use of the vehicle, First make sure you remove the key from the ignition switch, then remove fuse 18 from the fuse box that is located in the glove box, wait a couple of minutes and then refit the fuse, you should then insert the key in the ignition and wait 10 seconds before trying to turn the key, this should allow you to start the car once, you can repeat this process each time you want to start the car, you should then either bring the vehicle to us or send the steering column to us before even more damage occurs and the cost of the repair increases.
If the above "temporary fix" works then it is quite likely that the cost of repair by us will be about £425.00 plus carriage
There are many problems with starting these sophisticated cars, mostly down to faults with either the key itself, the power supply to the system and faults with the steering column are the main cause of the problem. There are many other symptoms but we can test and repair all these problems.
Unfortunately the dealer solution of new ignition switch and an exchange steering column (this is a refurbished part) normally costs in the region of £3965.60 including labour!
We are able to fully test these parts on one of our dedicated test vehicles, no bench testing, that does not work for us.
If necessary we can repair any of the parts and replace many components with genuine OEM parts.
We can test and repair the column on the car or you can remove the column and send to us where we test on one of our test vehicles.
When removing the column to send it to us be very careful that you only remove the column, don't remove any motors etc ( it should look like some of the pictures on this page) be VERY careful with packaging as plastic parts and particularly some of the tabs are easily broken in transit and would result in floppy column if not repaired.
It is our experience that it is cheaper to repair these problems when they arrive with us untouched, when people have tried to repair the column themselves or over-lubricated, especially by drilling holes in the casing, it often costs more as we then need to correct all the problems caused.
How Much does it cost to repair these problems?
- Testing costs £84.00 plus carriage.
- Repair costs depend upon what is wrong with the column, the most common problem of ignition key not turning usually costs £425.00 plus carriage depending upon the cause of the problem, ecu's that have had wd40 squirted into them generally cost more and can be up to £650.00 sometimes due to the damage caused.
- Other repairs for column motor problems are around the £500.00 mark but can increase if brackets and motors require replacing, we will advise before repairing.
(In the UK the cost of next day carriage with insurance cover up to £800.00 is £52.00, we can send with less cover or 48 hour for less at customers risk)
We will contact you by email before proceeding with any repairs in any case.Most repairs are carried out within 72 hours of receipt - sometimes the same day, it all depends upon workload and parts requirements.All repairs are guaranteed for 12 months.
Please complete the form at this link and ensure that you enclose it with your well-packaged steering column.

Fire brigade
What do the fire departments do?
(photo Exxonmobil)
The population can count on about 18,000 professional and voluntary firefighters, who belong to 34 emergency rescue zones and the Brussels fire brigade. You can reach the fire brigade at any moment for urgent assistance by calling the emergency number 112. When it is not urgent, you better call your emergency rescue zone on their own phone number.
The reform of the civil security (in particular the fire departments and the Civil Protection) has three main goals: an optimal organization of the relief provided to the population; increasing the safety of the citizens and relief workers; professionalization of the work frame for the members of the emergency services,
How to become a firefighter?
The procedure to become a firefighter should not be underestimated. A strong motivation is very important, but you also need to dispose of a number of cognitive, technical and physical competences in order to be able to join the fire brigade.
Do you want to become a firefighter? Then you can find all the information you need here.
Specialized teams
The Civil Protection and the fire departments have a number of tasks for which they need to use special techniques or need special equipment. To be able to execute these specialized tasks correctly, a few specialized teams were created.

hi there,
do i have to have BW 9 to install and run BW9 Mac Pub Preview? I bought a BW8 Windows few months before BW9 was released, and did not feel like springing for upgrade... am I stuck now? or can I preview the new version as well?
Okay, the BW9 Mac Public Preview is available again! Please see updated instructions here:
You may need to hit refresh/F5 in your browser if it is still showing the old page.
I'm thrilled to hear that BW will be supporting BW on Mac using Crossover/WINE. This is not because I'm a Mac user, but a Linux user who has been running BW under WINE for years It's always worked, and worked pretty well, but a number of features have been unavailable using WINE. I'm really hoping that since BW will be developed for Mac using Crossover/WINE that this will have some implications for running BW under Linux using Crossover. I would think that if you're going to put the work into getting BW running well under Crossover for Mac, that this would mean most (or all) of these benefits would manifest themselves for those trying to run BW under Linux. I realize that you will probably not release an official Linux version using Crossover, but I think it would be really great if better Linux compatibility showed up as a side effect of tweaking BW to run on Mac via Crossover/WINE. Can anyone confirm?

With high volatility and deleveraging expected to continue in the global markets, Litman/Gregory Asset Management is betting on two popular fixed-income funds—PIMCO's Total Return and DoubleLine's Total Return—for its clients' managed portfolios.
Clearly, active management by star managers gets the thumbs-up in Orinda, Calf.-based Litman/Gregory's playbook. Bill Gross is responsible for PIMCO's Total Return Fund (PTTRX), which grew to a record $258.7 billion in April, while Jeffrey Gundlach's $23.7 billion DoubleLine Total Return Bond Fund (DBLTX), attracted more money in February than any other U.S. mutual fund.
"Our fixed-income portfolios have less interest rate sensitivity, or lower durations, relative to the benchmark, and higher yields than traditional core bond portfolios," said Alice Lowenstein, a certified financial planner and director of managed portfolios for Litman/Gregory Asset Management on Friday at the 2012 National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) annual conference in Chicago.
Lowenstein is responsible for institutional client relationships and business development for managed portfolio clients at Litman/Gregory, whose AdvisorIntelligence research unit helps advisors with model portfolios, tactical allocation changes and practice management advice.
Litman/Gregory expects volatility to be higher this year due to "the messy deleveraging process," Lowenstein said, as the markets have a lower yield cushion and thus a susceptibility to higher rates.
Both stock and bond returns are expected to be much lower going forward, and risk levels are higher, she said. In fixed income, Litman/Gregory is underweight investment-grade core and overweight absolute return.

NEW YORK - August 10, 2011 - Syfy's popular series Haven will become the first television series to create a storyline that flows between the show itself and the micro-blogging service Twitter when it launches a special seven-episode arc beginning Friday, August 12, at 10PM (ET/PT).
"The Haven writers and producers have done an amazing job of crafting a story line that seamlessly moves between the TV show and Twitter," said Craig Engler, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Syfy Digital. "Although there have been simple integrations before, no one has fully and organically integrated Twitter into the fabric of the show in the way Haven is doing. If you watch Haven and use Twitter, you're in for a real treat."
In the story, Vince (Richard Donat) and Dave (John Dunsworth), who run the newspaper in Haven, join Twitter as newcomers to the medium. Viewers who follow their characters (@VinceHaven, @DaveHaven) will see them interact with a mysterious Twitter user (@ColdInHaven) who knows more about Haven - and Vince and Dave - than anyone should.
Said Executive Producer Lloyd Segan: "Although Twitter has been featured in TV shows before, this is the first time a storyline from a television series has been fully integrated with the popular online service. The story has been created in such a way that viewers who don't follow the Twitter plot can still enjoy the show. For those that do, there will be a special meaning to events in Haven during these seven episodes."
As the special plot unfolds on Twitter, viewers will catch glimpses of it in the show itself, where they'll be directed to follow the Twitter conversation through special promos. The outcome to the Twitter story will be revealed in the second-season finale on Friday, September 30.
"Twitter has become the default platform for TV fans to talk, in real-time, about the shows they love," said Robin Sloan, manager of media partnerships at Twitter. "Syfy has embraced that conversation, and now it's breaking new ground with this Haven storyline. It incorporates Twitter more deeply into the show's plot than anything we've ever seen before."
Viewers can follow the story on Twitter with the hashtag #HavenNews as well as on www.syfy.com/haven.
Syfy and Twitter will be working together during the seven-week event to measure viewer engagement around the Haven Twitter storyline. The findings will be shared in an online case study, with best practices for any network to use when integrating Twitter directly into a storyline.
Now in its second season, Haven, starring Emily Rose, is based on The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King. The series follows FBI agent Audrey Parker (Rose), who takes up residence in the small town of Haven, Maine, and soon discovers the town's many secrets.
A longtime refuge for people with an eclectic range of supernatural abilities, Haven also holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of Audrey's lost past. Among the townspeople are Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant), a handsome local cop with his own supernatural affliction, and Duke Crocker (Eric Balfour), a smuggler and reluctant aide in solving Haven's troubles.
From leading independent producer Entertainment One, Haven is co-commissioned by Shaw Media in Canada and globally via Universal Networks International (UNI).
The creative team behind Haven includes Executive Producers John Morayniss (Hung, Goodnight for Justice) and Noreen Halpern (Call Me Fitz, Rookie Blue) from eOne Television, and David MacLeod (Legends of the Fall, The Ray Bradbury Theater) of Big Motion Pictures, who are joined by Lloyd Segan, Shawn Piller, Scott Shepherd (Stephen King's The Dead Zone) and Matt McGuiness (Journeyman) as well as Sam Ernst and Jim Dunn (Stephen King's The Dead Zone), who also developed the series.
Haven is produced by Entertainment One and Big Motion Pictures in association with Piller/Segan/Shepherd and airs on Syfy in the U.S., Showcase in Canada and internationally on UNI's multiple Syfy Universal channels. Entertainment One controls the worldwide distribution rights to the one-hour series and concluded a deal with Germany's Tele M�nchen Group (TMG) for the television rights in Continental Europe.

|This web site has been created to maintain the history of modern day powerboat racing using various material from my archives.
|I began an interest in the sport when embarking on a career in Naval Architecture at Vosper Ltd which at the time was building the 1962 Cowes - Torquay winner Tramontana One.
|Having an interest in photography as well as keeping countless reports and result sheets has with the demise of the National Motorboat Museum, has given greater urgency to have an easy accessible means of referencing the Raceboat history of the last 50 years.
|There are many moments which stand out over the last 50 years, such as 'Telstar' winning the Cowes - Torquay - Torquay in 1968, or the extremely rough Cowes - Torquay - Torquay of 1971, so hopefully this web site will recall many more memorable occasions for those who visit the site.
|Powerboat Archive is continuing to add photographs, films and race information and thanks must go to John Walker and Ray Bulman for allowing the use of their extensive collections.
|If you have any material you wish to contribute please contact me, there is still a lot missing from our racing past.

The burn was conducted to help restore oak and pine woodlands, and is expected to create additional forage and habitat for the Park's experimental elk population.
The central purpose of the park's prescribed-fire program for the interior region of the Smokies is to replicate, as closely as possible, the role that fires historically played in shaping and maintaining the Park's diverse ecosystem. In this case, the Park's goal is to perpetuate and maintain the xeric oak forest community.
The xeric forest type is made up of largely fire-tolerant species including black, scarlet, and chestnut oaks and various hickory species. The restored xeric forest will have numerous canopy openings that will allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, supporting a variety of grasses and herbaceous vegetation and improving habitat for wildlife. This area was originally burned in April 2004. The burn last weekend was the second in a long-term plan calling for several treatments to restore the xeric oak forest community to a more healthy condition.
Until the mid-'90's, all fires within the Park had been vigorously suppressed for almost 70 years. One consequence of that long-term fire suppression was that areas that historically were xeric oak were being taken over by maple and other species which out -compete the oaks, but are much less fire-resistant. The new forest has a closed canopy that allows little light to the forest floor, resulting in a decline of biological diversity. The planned burn is designed to reduce the density of fire-intolerant species and to promote the regeneration of the xeric oak species.
The area that was burned borders the open meadows of Cataloochee at the western end of the Valley. The burn area is contained by natural boundaries including the grassy meadow, two wet drainages, an old road, and by a short stretch of established fire control line. As a precaution, approximately 25 park firefighters and 2 engines were assigned to make sure the fire stays within its planned boundaries.

Pierre Bouchard began cycle touring in 1990 and has since travelled all over the world, covering the distance of four loops of the planet. In this first of three instalments* about the "Nomads" we asked him what he's learned.
Pierre Bouchard's life on the road began with sage advice from a philosophy professor; "the ideal would be to travel the world and account for it," the professor suggested during a lecture. Then a philosophy student, Pierre says as soon as he heard this his "mind flew right out the window".
Shortly after, he dropped out of university and set out to study what René Descartes called "the great book of the world". He pedalled more than 71,000 km through 18 countries in the following seven years. His partner Janick Lemieux joined him on the road in 1997 and together they've cycled through more than 60 countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania – and currently Africa.
Their expeditions are about far more than seeing sites and sampling foreign food, however. The couple approach their journeys as acts to build understanding and solidarity between distant cultures. They are particularly interested in remote and nomadic cultures and have given hundreds of lectures about their findings and experiences.
"By sharing what we learn, and by informing our hosts on the road about our own culture, we contribute to a sense of humanhood which is the basis for genuine solidarity!" Pierre says. "We've learned that we all have the same needs and are all subjected to the same existential conditions, so why not help one another?"
"People are very curious and somehow don't feel threatened by strangers on loaded bikes. They come close, greet us and inquire about the obvious journey we're on which often triggers a reflex of human solidarity where invitations for a drink, meal, shower and shelter fuse."
Through 1999 to 2009, the couple circumnavigated the Pacific Rim, riding along its tectonic faults and ridges, pedalling from one active volcano to the next. Travelling clockwise from Vancouver, they cycled about 60,000 km in six years, using 300 volcanoes to create their itinerary and hiking to, around or to the summit of around 60.
"One of the advantages of having a theme to explore is that they take you to places you would never imagine – you don't usually think of Vanuatu or the Solomon Islands as your typical bike touring destinations, but they rock," Pierre says. "The Ring of Fire quest took us to some of our planet's wildest spots and warmest people."
Pierre and Janick are currently cycling through Tanzania, having made it more than half way through their 35,000 km NOMADS² cycle tour. The three-year expedition is focused on deepening their understanding of the nomadic way of life. Starting in Norway, they cycled north to Lapland, and then south down through Eastern Europe, the Middle-East and the east of Africa.
Along the way they have contacted various nomadic peoples, such as the Sami in Scandinavia, the Roma in Europe, and other tribes, seasonal herders and hunter-gatherers. After cycling 21,000 km in 21 months, they're pausing their journey shortly in Tanzania, and will return after a 15 month break to complete the journey north up the west of Africa to Morocco.
"We have learned that being a nomad is becoming more and more difficult because, due to the population explosion, the world is getting crowded," Pierre says. "The race to exploit natural resources by the more powerful often pushes nomads out of their natural territories to which they often have no legal deeds. There is also development playing a role, with new school-going nomad generations often not willing to continue to live simply like their parents and ancestors. For now, nomadism is fast disappearing."
"Nomads are in symbiosis with nature and for this reason, it would be good for the planet if more of us were to adopt the way of the nomads. They definitely inspire us to have a lower and sustainable impact on the environment and its resources!"
*Stay tuned for our second and third stories about the Nomads, and find out which countries in the world are the most cycle-friendly!
