Community Alert Update

Friday, June 10th 3:30pm

As many of you already know there was an incident on the second day of Shavuos on Coldwater between Magnolia and Chandler. A young woman was violently attacked in front of her residence. Rabbi Rosenberg has spoken with Sargent Delgado of the North Hollywood Police Department as well as with officer David Herskovitz and Yiroel Blumenstein. As of now, their recommendation is for the community to practice extreme caution and vigilance when walking the streets of the neighborhoods. It is suggested that people walk in groups of at least 3, whether during the day or at night. According to the authorities, the only confirmed information is that the assailant is a white male around the age of 35 who drove a dark vehicle. Although other details of his appearance are circulating the police emphasize that until there is confirmation through their official investigation the most effective action we can take as a community is to remain alert and walk in groups. Of course, as official information comes in we will provide whatever we have to the community. We wish a refuah shelaimah to the young women and her family.

Refua Shelama.

Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs

Rabbi Charles Simon, Executive Director

Dear FJMC Club Member and Scotch enthusiast,

I realize that with all of the turmoil and anti-Israel bashing that is taking place that this might appear somewhat trivial but then again, for those of you who drink Scotch at Kiddush it might not. The West Dunbartonshire Council in Scotland has decided to participate in the BDS campaign (Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions) against Israel. The Council is the equivalent of our county level of government here in the United States.

A boycott is like a snowball heading downhill. It begins at the top of a large mountain and gathers momentum until it is transformed into an avalanche. If we wish to stop it. We need to act as soon as possible.

The Council states that "...Officers (that is employees running the programs and services operated or funded by the council such as policc & fire departments, parks, libraries, etc.) should immediately cease the purchase of any goods we currently source, which were made or grown in Israel. Officers should also ensure we procure no new goods or produce from Israel until this boycott is formally lifted by WDC." It explains in a separate press release that this resolution is not racist because "Only books (or items) that were printed (or produced) in Israel and transported to the UK for distribution would be potentially boycotted." Books by Israeli authors or items that are made by Israelis that are printed or made outside of Israel are permitted.

We are suggesting a boycott of Scotch from distillers located in West Dunbartonshire Council in Scotland at Kiddush, and public and private Simchas. Scotch made or produced elsewhere should be substituted. Please contact the distilleries located in West Dunbartonshire Council and inform them of our new policy and ask them to apply pressure to the Council to end participation in boycotting Israel.
