Thank you Hakadosh Baruch Hu By: Suri Stern The letter from the French citizen below evinces the continued institutional anti-semitism rampant in France and throughout Europe. But let us not delude ourselves. But for the fact that our courageous brethren in Israel, see article below, on the front lines, protects not only Israel's borders, but ensures that Jews throughout the world know there is a place called home for them, protects we Americans from similar treatment for Nazis have a right to march freely and we are not immune from swastikas. We do have to thank HKBH for the opportunity to live in a country where we can practice our religion freely. We have to thank HKBH that he provided us with Israel which ensures that we have worldwide coverage.

One Day in the Life of a Jew in France
Submitted by: Irv Kaminsky,
Thank you.I received this post from a friend in NY. One of his friends is living in France and posted this to him with the request that he distribute it to his American friends. He prefaces with:
Once again, the real news in France is conveniently not being reported as it should. To give you an idea of what's going on in France where there are now between 5 and 6 million Muslims and about 600,000 Jews, here is an email that came from a Jew living in France. Will the world say nothing - again - as it did in Hitler's time? He writes:
"I am a Jew, therefore I am forwarding this to everyone on all my e-mail lists. I will not sit back and do nothing. Nowhere have the flames of anti-Semitism burned more furiously than in France: In Lyon, a car was rammed into a synagogue and set on fire. In Montpellier, the Jewish religious center was firebombed; so were synagogues in Strasbourg and Marseilles; so was a Jewish school in Creteil - all recently.

A letter from a reserve Israeli soldier
Shalom,
The letter below was sent to us by our son Aron who
is doing IDF reserve duty on the Egyptian border. I
would humbly comment that it would be a Kiddush
Hashem for the world to see this. Please feel free
to pass it on to whomever you please, including to
the editors of newspapers.
Thank you,
Marilyn & Josh Adler
My name is Aron Adler.
I am 25 years old, was born in Brooklyn NY, and
raised in Efrat Israel. Though very busy, I don't
view my life as unusual. Most of the time, I am
just another Israeli citizen. During the day I work
as a paramedic in Magen David Adom, Israel's
national EMS service. At night, I'm in my first
year of law school. I got married this October and
am starting a new chapter of life together with my
wonderful wife Shulamit.
15-20 days out of every year, I'm called up to the
Israeli army to do my reserve duty. I serve as a
paramedic in an IDF paratrooper unit. My squad is
made up of others like me; people living normal
lives who step up to serve whenever responsibility
calls. The oldest in my squad is 58, a father of
four girls and grandfather of two; there are two
bankers, one engineer, a holistic healer, and my 24
year old commander who is still trying to figure
out what to do with his life. Most of the year we
are just normal people living our lives, but for
15-20 days each year we are soldiers on the front
lines preparing for a war that we hope we never
have to fight.
This year, our reserve unit was stationed on the
border between Israel, Egypt and the Gaza Strip in
an area called "Kerem Shalom." Above and beyond the
"typical" things for which we train - war,
terrorism, border infiltration, etc., - this year
we were confronted by a new challenge. Several
years ago, a trend started of African refugees
crossing the Egyptian border from Sinai into Israel
to seek asylum from the atrocities in Darfur.
What started out as a small number of men, women
and children fleeing from the machetes of the
Janjaweed and violent fundamentalists to seek a
better life elsewhere, turned into an organized
industry of human trafficking. In return for huge
sums of money, sometimes entire life savings paid
to Bedouin "guides," these refugees are promised to
be transported from Sudan, Eritrea, and other
African countries through Egypt and the Sinai
desert, into the safe haven of Israel.
We increasingly hear horror stories of the
atrocities these refugees suffer on their way to
freedom. They are subject to, and victims of
extortion, rape, murder, and even organ theft,
their bodies left to rot in the desert. Then, if
lucky, after surviving this gruesome experience
whose prize is freedom, when only a barbed wire
fence separates them from Israel and their goal,
they must go through the final death run and try to
evade the bullets of the Egyptian soldiers
stationed along the border. Egypt's soldiers are
ordered to shoot to kill anyone trying to cross the
border OUT of Egypt and into Israel. It's an almost
nightly event.
For those who finally get across the border, the
first people they encounter are Israeli soldiers,
people like me and those in my unit, who are tasked
with a primary mission of defending the lives of
the Israeli people. On one side of the border
soldiers shoot to kill. On the other side, they
know they will be treated with more respect than in
any of the countries they crossed to get to this
point.
The region where it all happens is highly sensitive
and risky from a security point of view, an area
stricken with terror at every turn. It's just a few
miles south of the place where Gilad Shalit was
kidnapped. And yet the Israeli soldiers who are
confronted with these refugees do it not with
rifles aimed at them, but with a helping hand and
an open heart. The refugees are taken to a nearby
IDF base, given clean clothes, a hot drink, food
and medical attention. They are finally safe.
Even though I live Israel and am aware through
media reports of the events that take place on the
Egyptian border, I never understood the intensity
and complexity of the scenario until I experienced
it myself.
In the course of the past few nights, I have
witnessed much. At 9:00 PM last night, the first
reports came in of gunfire heard from the Egyptian
border. Minutes later, IDF scouts spotted small
groups of people trying to get across the fence. In
the period of about one hour, we picked up 13 men -
cold, barefoot, dehydrated - some wearing nothing
except underpants. Their bodies were covered with
lacerations and other wounds. We gathered them in a
room, gave them blankets, tea and treated their
wounds. I don't speak a word of their language, but
the look on their faces said it all and reminded me
once again why I am so proud to be a Jew and an
Israeli. Sadly, it was later determined that the
gunshots we heard were deadly, killing three others
fleeing for their lives.
During the 350 days a year when I am not on active
duty, when I am just another man trying to get by,
the people tasked with doing this amazing job, this
amazing deed, the people witnessing these events,
are mostly young Israeli soldiers just out of high
school, serving their compulsory time in the IDF,
some only 18 years old.
The refugees flooding into Israel are a heavy
burden on our small country. More than 100,000
refugees have fled this way, and hundreds more
cross the border every month. The social, economic,
and humanitarian issues created by this influx of
refugees are immense. There are serious security
consequences for Israel as well. This influx of
African refugees poses a crisis for Israel. Israel
has yet to come up with the solutions required to
deal with this crisis effectively, balancing its'
sensitive social, economic, and security issues, at
the same time striving to care for the refugees.
I don't have the answers to these complex problems
which desperately need to be resolved. I'm not
writing these words with the intention of taking a
political position or a tactical stand on the
issue.
I am writing to tell you and the entire world
what's really happening down here on the
Egyptian/Israeli border. And to tell you that
despite all the serious problems created by this
national crisis, these refugees have no reason to
fear us. Because they know, as the entire world
needs to know, that Israel has not shut its eyes to
their suffering and pain. Israel has not looked the
other way. The State of Israel has put politics
aside to take the ethical and humane path as it has
so often done before, in every instance of human
suffering and natural disasters around the globe.
We Jews know only too well about suffering and
pain. The Jewish people have been there. We have
been the refugees and the persecuted so many times,
over thousands of years, all over the world.
Today, when African refugees flood our borders in
search of freedom and better lives, and some for
fear of their lives, it is particularly noteworthy
how Israel deals with them, despite the enormous
strain it puts on our country on so many levels.
Our young and thriving Jewish people and country,
built from the ashes of the Holocaust, do not turn
their backs on humanity. Though I already knew
that, this week I once again experienced it
firsthand. I am overwhelmed with emotion and
immensely proud to be a member of this nation.
With love of Israel,
Aron Adler writing from the Israel/Gaza/Egyptian
border. ************ SHARSHERET Third Annual Pies for Prevention Thanksgiving Bake Sale! Do you love Thanksgiving but hate all the preparations?!?
