Get Yours Now! Sale of Cemetery Plots!!
|
Limited Time Offer!
Sale of Cemetery Plots to Arbeter Ring Members!
To our members (and prospective members):
One of the historic benefits Arbeter Ring has always offered to our members is reasonably-priced cemetery plots. We have several remaining plots in the beautiful Mount Shalom South section at Eden Memorial Park which we are offering to our members at well below market rate. This section is sold out, but if plots were available there or in comparable sections, they would go for upwards of $9000 each. We are offering these plots to our members at the very attractive price of $6500, but only until Rosh Hashone this fall, that is, for about six months, or as long as they last. At that point, if we have any left, we will open up sales to the general public, and we are confident they will sell quickly. This will be your last opportunity to purchase plots from us, because we do not expect to ever make this benefit available again in Southern California. Please contact our office at 310.552.2007 for further details.

ERIC GORDON's Letter in LA TIMES!
| |
Los Angeles Times, June 23, 2012
JOCKEL FINCK Associated Press
ISRAEL PRESIDENT Shimon Peres advocates a two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
A formula for peace
Re: "Two states for two peoples," Opinion, June 18
ISRAELI PRESIDENT SHIMON PERES says the "defining moment" for his people is their exodus from Egypt "and journey to freedom in our homeland." Similarly, he cites "the Pilgrims who sailed aboard the Mayflower" and "sought freedom in their new promised land." Peoples define themselves by their own narratives. These two foundation myths are powerful ones for Jews and Americans. On Passover and on the Fourth of July, I myself celebrate these milestones that define my identity.
Yet other peoples have their own powerful narratives. Indigenous nations are visited and conquered, forever transforming and obliterating their independence. One nation's deliverance is another's humiliation.
It is all well and good that Peres speaks in favor of "two states for two peoples living side by side in mutual recognition, security and peace." But at this precipitously late date, his words sound like pabulum for public consumption, an unrealizable goal in the face of zealots and facts on the ground that are all but irreversible by peaceful means. At the same time, a single secular state seems equally chimerical.
How this will unfold, no one knows. I expect it will require some medicine far stronger than empty bromides.
ERIC A. GORDON, Los Angeles
