declaration condemning Al Qaeda and ISIS and the
abuse of religion.
Its very important psychologically for the minorities to have that kind of support, Rabbi Rosen said.
He acknowledged that there are always problematics involved in cooperation with countries or
religious communities that might not fit our standards with civil liberties. But its better to take the
hands that have been stretched out. I saw an opportunity for progress.
Rabbi Rosen grew up in England, where his father
was a prominent Orthodox rabbi. After high school,
he studied in Jerusalem at the Mir yeshiva, where he
received rabbinic ordination. But he left the charedi
yeshiva to enlist in the Israeli army. For a time he
served as an IDF chaplain in the Sinai. Then, in the
early 1970s, he went to South Africa. He was hired to
be a campus rabbi and then South Africas largest
congregation, an Orthodox synagogue with ten thousand members, hired him.
It was in Cape Town that Rabbi Rosen discovered
interfaith cooperation.
I came to it from a commitment to social justice.
It was one of the few ways to bring people together
across racial separations during the apartheid
regime, he said.
His activism made older congregants nervous. It
also brought death threats against him and his children. And it led the government not to renew his
visa.
A stint as chief rabbi of Ireland introduced him to
the world of Catholic-Jewish relations. You cant be
chief rabbi of Ireland and not relate to other faiths,
he said.
Based in Jerusalem, Rabbi Rosen has represented
both the Israeli government and the chief rabbinate in interreligious dialogue and in the negotiations
leading up to the Vaticans recognition of Israel.
Last week, he was in Davos, Switzerland.
The World Economic Forum understands that
religion has consequence for religious and economic
interests, he said. He appeared on a panel about
religion and violence with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the archbishop of South Africa, and
the founder of Zaytuna College in Berkeley, the first
Muslim liberal arts college in America.
Rabbi Rosen points to the enormous advances
in the constructive use of religion. You can see the
enormous advances in interfaith cooperation. There
is in fact less conflict today than in the past.
Whats striking in interreligious work is that the
divisions are often not between religions as within
religions; they are instead between those who are
open-minded, embracing, welcoming, and those
who are insular, isolationist, and only inward looking, he said.
Rabbi Rosen said that he is optimistic about prospects for interreligious dialogue with Muslims.

funds as payments because of his or her status as a victim of Nazi persecution; the funds were or would have
been excludable under the Victims of Nazi Persecution
Act for the original recipient; the funds are identifiable
as reparation payments; and the funds are unspent.
Many children of survivors will never need assistance,
said Barbara, but I know from our practice that there
are certain damages that children suffer. It may render
them unable to complete their education or take care of
themselves. They may be caretakers, not free to focus
on their own lives.
While some survivors are more able to leave horrors behind and focus on new families, not everyone
can do that.
The Lissners are hoping to spread the word about
the SSA exemptions to survivors, their children, and
their lawyers.
Were hoping the benefit will be understood and
utilized, they said. If people wait too long, it will be
more difficult to recreate what their parents and grandparents received. Even grandchildren are affected, she
said. The legislation didnt put a limitation on who was
defined as an heir. They broadened the definition to say
its not the heir that is the issue but the money. Once
you have identified the money and shown that it was
exempt, that exemption is retained.
Our message for survivors and their families is that
our government is encouraging people to take advantage of this law. Its not something to mistrust, Mr. Lissner said. The government is making an amazing effort,
a gesture. It is, he said, an apology for what was not
done to save Jewish lives during the war, a way to say
were sorry and have you age with more dignity.

Mr. Mintz said that he was

Haiti to provide disaster relief.

Regarding Its electability, stupid ( January 23) the key word here is stupid. It is
stupid of Jewish Republicans to back candidates solely on the Israel perspective and
it is truly stupid to think Obama and Hillary dont care enough about Israel. There
are several issues here:
1. In typical anti-Obama, Republican
fashion, the current administration is
criticized for its handling of Israel-U.S.
relations, but they do not provide a solution, alternatives, or any ideas about what
a Republican candidate would do or have
done differently. Obama made a mistake
in not sending someone to Paris, but he
apologized. It is not a sign of anti-Israeli
support. We have accepted many apologies from Republicans over the years.
2. The fact that Republican donors could
possibly back Ted Cruz, Rick Perry, Rick
Santorum or Mike Huckabee, just because
they are pro-Jews, is sickening. They are
particularly anti-women, against separation of church and state, against health
care for all citizens, pro NRA, and definitely Christian right wing. They dont give
a damn about Israel, except to court the
Jewish vote.
Democrats have always been the biggest supporters of civil rights, womens
rights, equal education, and opportunity

Je suis Charlie?
It depends on
what is is
statements. It also generally yields better writing, forcing us to use more active
verbs. This is not to discount the simple
power of the ich bin/je suis/I am quotes,
but to understand that they are the exception rather than the rule.
To say that the Kouachi brothers are terrorists is to imply that that is all we need to
know about them. We absolutely must condemn them as terrorists, and do whatever
is in our power to prevent such acts from
occurring again. But we do ourselves a disservice by reducing them down to a simple
label and a simple equation, when we desperately need to understand the complexities of such violent activities. In the aftermath of the attacks, the statement that Islam
is a religion of peace has been repeated
countless times, and while we may applaud
the sentiment behind it, it is as misleading
as saying that Islam is a religion of violence,
as misleading as making similar statements
about Judaism, Christianity, or Buddhism.
Substituting other verbs, such as preaches
and promotes, would be helpful, but general semantics also would recommend dealing with more concrete terms. Islam is an
abstract concept (so is Judaism, Christianity,
or Buddhism), and it helps to use more concrete terms, to refer to specific individuals
and groups, statements and texts, and especially, actions.
Modernity, and with it the establishment
of the State of Israel as a Jewish homeland,
has led to much agonizing over the question of who is a Jew. And while there are
issues we grapple with concerning Jewish
identity, to a significant degree, the problem may be in our verbs, not ourselves.
The answer to the questions of Who
is a Jew? and Who is Charlie? would
depend on what the meaning of is is.
It is significant to note that this is a problem that does not exist in the Hebrew language, at least not in the present tense.
There are no words for is, am, and are,
and the verb lihiyot, to be, is conjugated
only in the past and future tenses. It is a
quality that Hebrew shares with several
other languages, including Arabic. While
it is far from a cure for our many linguistic maladies, it should serve to point us
in the right direction. And it is consistent
with Jewish ethics to say that what really
matters is not so much what someone is,
but what someone does. And that includes
standing up for the right of free expression
and religious affiliation. And that includes
defending the right to live in peace and
free from terror.

Just in terms of anecdotal proof, we

A look at stigma, finances, and Sinai
Joanne Palmer
Why do parents send their children to
Sinai schools?
Because the schools innovative program allows developmentally disabled
Jewish children to develop the skills
they need to live in this world, to make
friends, not to define themselves by their
disabilities. Because the school pays
close attention to each child and spends
a huge amount of time, care, experience,
and love in tailoring a program that gives
each child what he or she needs to live
as independently as possible and as joyously as anyone else.
Why do parents not send their children to Sinai Schools?
Ah, that is an easier question to answer
in some ways, but the answers to this one
are devastating.
Finances and stigma.
Thats according to Sam Fishman, the
schools managing director.
that there is a certain percentage of children born into this community who have
this need.
If you are blessed with a child with
this need, the chances are that you wont
be able to do it on your own, so we are
able to say that we are here.

they welcomed our young men with disabilities, at a time when it was not popular to do so. Now you can walk up and
down Cedar Lane or West Englewood
Avenue, or even go to Party City or Modells or Staples, and see people with disabilities as workers.
Nowadays its very typical and
expected for individuals of all abilities
to be working, either as volunteers or
as employees, but then it was much less
popular. But Holy Name welcomed us.
She talked about a student of hers who
worked there a few years ago. They welcomed him, and he was independent
there, she said. I would just drop him
off, and he would go to the volunteer
service lounge, where the volunteers
often retired people would wait to be
called. He would sit with the other volunteers, and accept any task.
I visited him there, and saw that he
was warmly welcomed by the other volunteers as an equal. We worked hard to
get him there, because we felt that once
we did, it would pay off. And it did!
Michael Maron said that Holy Name
does not work with developmentally
disabled people just out of charity, but
because it is mutually beneficial. The volunteers and employees do good work.
Beyond that, It is a good reminder to us
all of who we are and why we are here,
he said. It keeps everybody a little more
tuned in and little more on their toes as
to the purpose of being.
Mr. Maron believes that the Sinai
schools and Holy Name Medical Center
are profoundly similar. For me personally, and for us as a whole, we applaud
Sinai for being a beacon of light for

KRAKOW, Poland What kept you
alive?
Did your non-Jewish friends reject you?
Could you ever forgive?
Those were some of the questions Jewish young adults posed to Holocaust survivor Marcel Tuchman on Monday at the
Galicia Jewish Museum here.
What kept me alive was having my
father with me, said Tuchman, 93, a physician from New York who was born in
Poland and survived several concentration
camps, including Auschwitz. And another
thing was the hope I had that one day I will
be able to tell the story to the likes of you,
so you can tell it to the next generation.
His meeting with young Jews was one of
many such encounters taking place in and
around Krakow on the 70th anniversary of
the Soviet armys liberation of Auschwitz,
where an estimated 1.1 million people were
murdered, many of them gassed.
Auschwitz survivor Marcel Tuchman, 93, meets with Jewish students in Krakow

that place but the place where he grew up and was happy.
Tuchman, too, recalled a happy childhood in Poland. But
when the question of forgiveness came up before the youthful crowd on Monday evening, he paused.
Forgiveness is a very complicated thing, said Tuchman,
who came with his son Jeffrey. After the war, he testified on
behalf of a German engineer who had overseen slave laborers, including Tuchman himself, in Auschwitz.
But Tuchman also dealt out his own justice. In postwar
Germany, he and a fellow survivor spied a man who had
tortured them.
He was a sadist: He pounded on our stomachs when we
were sick with diarrhea, Tuchman recalled. We recognized him on the street and grabbed him, and beat the hell

PRAGUE When they announced the ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz,
Polish officials insisted that at this years event, the eyes
of the world will be focused on about 300 Holocaust
survivors whose presence Tuesday at the former Nazi
death camp near Krakow may be the last gathering of
its sort.
The generation of Holocaust survivors, after all, is
dying out.
Yet critics are charging that politics and tensions
between Russia and its neighbors nonetheless are eclipsing the focus on the survivors, and even muddling the
historical record. Many believe that behind the main
event, at Auschwitz, was an organized effort to discourage Russian President Vladimir Putin from attending a
reprisal of sorts for Russias annexation of Ukrainian territory last year.
In 2005, during his earlier stint as president, Putin
attended the 60th anniversary ceremony. This time,
a tentative invitation was extended to the Russian
Embassy but not to Putin directly.
An attempt to keep out Putin was a serious failure in
commemoration because it was Russian troops who liberated the camp, said Efraim Zuroff, the Israel director
for the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the human rights organization. This attempt to erase the Russian peoples
contribution to defeating Nazism is casting a shadow on
this commemoration, and creating a vacuum in which
untruths flourish.
One such distortion: On January 21, Polish Foreign
Minister Grzegorz Schetyna told a local radio station that
Ukrainians, not Russians, liberated Auschwitz, citing
the fact that the Red Army unit that reached Auschwitz
was called the First Ukrainian Front. And on January 8,
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said that
the Soviets invaded Ukraine and Germany, when, in

The Israeli embassy did not reply to requests for comment, except to note that Boehners official invitation
was made in the name of both parties. Top Democratic
officials say Boehner did that without consulting them.
Boehners office has not responded.
In a speech to a State of Israel Bonds gala in Florida
on Sunday, Dermer said getting the Iran message across
was too critical to reject Boehners invitation. He also
lauded Obamas defense and intelligence cooperation
with Israel and said bipartisan support for Israel was
appreciated.
The prime ministers visit to Washington is intended
for one purpose and one purpose only to speak up
while there is still time to speak up, Dermer said. To
speak up when there is still time to make a difference.
Netanyahus speech, which is scheduled for March 3
after being bumped back quickly from its original February 11 date coincides with AIPACs annual policy conference in Washington. It also comes two weeks before
Israeli elections.
Netanyahu supports Republicans and a number of
Democrats who argue that more sanctions will increase
Western leverage on Iran. But Obama has countered
that increasing sanctions now would drive Iran from the
current negotiations with world powers over its nuclear
program.
Right-wing groups including the Zionist Organization of America, the Emergency Committee for Israel
and the Republican Jewish Coalition have defended
Boehner and Netanyahu, as did the sole Jewish Republican in Congress, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.).

The Labor Party chose an extreme leftist and anti-Zionist list, read a message
posted on Netanyahus official Facebook
page following the January 14 Labor primary. Theres no meeting point between
the nationalist and responsible Likud outlook, and the irresponsible leftist list.
In the last round of legislative balloting, in 2013, Netanyahu won reelection by
a wide margin, taking 31 seats 12 more
than his nearest rival. This time around,
Labor, which had just eight Knesset members as recently as two years ago, has seen
a resurgence, with polls showing its joint
slate with Hatnuah tied with Likud at 24
seats apiece.
Labor began the election season in
December with a bombshell, merging with
the centrist Hatnuah led by former Foreign
Minister Tzipi Livni. Livni and Labor Chairman Isaac Herzog, presenting themselves
as the anti-Netanyahu ticket, have hit the
prime minister especially hard on foreign
affairs, pledging to mend fences with the
United States and Europe.
After Netanyahu pushed his way to
the front of a January 11 Paris rally that

the French premier didnt even want him to attend, Zionist Camp activists mocked him with a video game in which
the object is to navigate the prime ministers character past
other heads of state to the front of the procession.
When U.S. House Speaker John Boehner invited Netanyahu last week to address a joint session of Congress in an
apparent breach of diplomatic protocol, Zionist Camp leaders accused him of playing with the U.S.-Israel relationship
for political gain.
The fact that Netanyahu walks the streets of Paris with
the leaders of the world doesnt mean those leaders are with
him, Herzog said on January 15 in a speech in Haifa. The
essential alliance with the U.S. has great influence in the
Israeli Religious Services Minister Naftali Bennett, right, and Deputy Minister Rabbi Eli BenDahan unveil a series of reforms in religious services in Israel at a news conference in Jerusalem

JAMES DULLEY
A community conference
A: Dear Emma: When installed and maintained properly, there is nothing more attractive and homey than
hardwood flooring. On the other hand, when it has
some of the problems you have described, it can make
the entire house look bad. If some of the cupping and
buckling is really severe, it can actually be hazardous
to walk on and can cause someone to stumble.
Most of your hardwood flooring should be able to
be saved, but probably not all of it. Your first step is to
try to determine the cause of the problems. Hardwood
flooring is not difficult to install, so most likely, it was
installed properly and there are some other reasons
for the problems.
The cupping and buckling are usually related to
moisture issues - either too much or too little. The
humidity level in homes can vary significantly from
January to June. Even though the hardwood seems to
be sealed with a durable urethane coating, moisture
will get into the wood.
As the moisture content of any wood increases, the
wood expands. When it dries, the wood contracts.
This is the primary cause of cupping. When the
underside of the wood is more moist than the top
surface, the bottom expands and the top contracts,
and the hardwood cups.
It is important to find the source of the moisture
under the hardwood and block it as much as possible.
Dont just take a sander to the installed cupped
hardwood and sand it flat. It may look good for a
month or two, but when the moisture level changes,
it may end up being crowned instead of cupped.
To solve the cupping, you will have to remove the
hardwood. Apply some type of film or spray-on sealer
to block the moisture source from beneath. Once this
is done, reinstall the hardwood and give it several
months to stabilize. In either the spring or fall when
the humidity levels are often in the mid-range, sand
the hardwood flooring to make it level.
Buckling of a hardwood floor is also related to
moisture issues. Usually, the hardwood flooring was
installed when it was too dry and in its contracted
size. When it adjusted to its normal moisture level,
it expanded. As it expands, the gap between the
pieces shrink until it they are gone. At this point, the
hardwood has no place to go other than buckling up.
As with cupping, remove the hardwood and apply
a moisture seal on the subfloor. Allow the hardwood
to acclimate to the normal room humidity, and then
reinstall it. Unless the tongue-and-groove edges
were damaged when it buckled, the floor should lay
reasonably flat.
Uneven gaps between the pieces of hardwood mean
that some pieces are expanding or contracting more
than others because of moisture changes. Areas with
wide gaps are often located over a heating duct, which
warms and dries the hardwood. If you have access
to beneath the floor, lower the heating duct and put
reflective foil insulation over it. Give it several weeks to
stabilize and add slivers of wood in the extra wide gaps.
