JNF's Mission Now Includes Water Desalination and Developing Israel's Deserts to Make Them Habitable
This Week on Radio Chavura
Come October 25, the eyes of the Jewish world will be focused on Denver, as the Mile High City hosts the annual Jewish National Fund national conference.
JNF, which is also known by the initials KKL (for its Hebrew name - Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael), is one of the largest and most prominent Israeli environmental groups, tracing its origins back to the days of Theodor Herzl and the Zionist Congresses (during which time it was tasked with buying land in Israel). Today, JNF is mostly often associated with reforestation efforts in Israel (planting 250 million trees in the last 100 years). But JNF is also deeply involved with other missions crucial to Israel and its people. Boaz Meir, the recently-appointed director of JNF's Mountain States region (encompassing Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho), joins us in the studio to discuss what JNF looks like today; the work of its Mountain States regional office; and what we can expect at the national conference this October. One of the most exciting endeavors that Boaz discusses with us is the work that the Mountain States office is doing to lend its support to JNF's campaign to populate the desert regions of Israel. This week's show is the final episode of our first season. We began broadcasting Radio Chavura on Sunday, July 1, 2012. Our program airs weekly on 990 KRKS AM. For more information on JNF, contact Boaz and the Mountain States offices of JNF at 303-573-7095.

Jewish Teens 'Rock It' at Mile Chai Y
Last Week on Radio Chavura
 | |
Maxwell Rotbart and Abby Tracer
Click on photo to enlarge
|
When Kolby Morris was hired by the Hebrew Educational Alliance as its first full time "Mountain Jews" youth programming director, members of the Jewish community in Colorado had no idea what to expect.
Now two years on, Kolby runs one of the most dynamic social groups for Jewish children and teenagers in the state - and she does it with ease and plenty of ruach (spirit).
Kolby, who is also the musical director of Shir Hadash (the HEA's weekly musical service), was our guest last week on Radio Chavura, along with Abby Tracer, an incoming 11th grade student at Grandview High School and a member of the Mile Chai Youth Leadership Board. Kolby and Abby joined hosts Maxwell and Dean Rotbart to highlight the great programming and events they help to run.
Mile Chai Youth - or Mile Chai Y - is one of five different Mountain Jews programs organized by Kolby and hosted by the HEA. The five programs are:
1. ATID - This group, for 4th and 5th grade students, meets twice a month on Sundays and gives young children an opportunity to socialize in a safe setting. Kolby organizes seasonal outings for ATID, including summer white water rafting and a Shabbaton each February.
2. Nitzanim - Middle school students (grades 6-8) revel in having the opportunity to attend their twice-monthly Mountain Jews programs, which incorporate Jewish learning with fun evening meetings during the week and on the weekend. In addition to winter snow tubing and an annual "Extravaganza," the kids in Nitzanim get to celebrate the new year with a party, known as "CRSH."
3. Mile Chai Y - Meeting three times each month, in addition to many informal gatherings, this high school group (also open to second semester 8th grade students) is exemplary. With both religious programming and Tikkun Olam (community service) activities built in, Mile Chai Y knows how to "rock it" with out-of-state trips, ski Shabbatons, swimming, bowling, and more! The members of the elected Mile Chai Y Leadership Board help manage these events (Abby Tracer is a wonderful and articulate example of the outstanding quality of Jewish teens who are involved with Mile Chai Y).
4. Dude's Night - This monthly meeting (for male students grades 7-12), run by Daniel "Juiceboxx" Gavens, offers "fun and energy burning activities to strengthen the male teen/tween community and inspire compassion and thoughtfulness in our Young Jewish Men." Need we say anything more?
5. Ladies' Night - Kolby oversees this monthly meeting (for female students grades 7-12) which presents "a variety of [discussion] topics related to the beauty and challenges associated with being a Young Jewish Woman in today's world."
Each of the five programs are open to all Jewish children and teens in the community, regardless of their synagogue affiliation.
For more information about Mountain Jews and Mile Chai Y, visit their Facebook page or Twitter account. Kolby can be reached at [email protected] or at 303-758-9400 x. 206.

Miss Israel: Titi Ayenew

From a Small Village in Ethiopia to Wearing the Miss Israel Crown - Yitayish 'Titi' Ayenew (JNS.org)
"I was without mother, without parents, with nothing," she added. "We were welcomed, loved, offered every opportunity to dream and to succeed. Without Israel, I would have been in a village somewhere, probably a mother by now, with no education, no dreams."
Europe is In Denial Over the Cost of Trying to Appease Its Growing Arab Population
(FrontPage Mag)
We're talking here about people... who were brought up to believe that the lesson of World War II is to exalt peaceful coexistence above all else and to reject the idea of fighting for anything; people who were raised with thoroughly secular identities and who consequently don't care very much what they put on the dotted line above the word "religion"; people who just want to be left alone (but who don't yet quite grasp, alas, that Islam is the religion that never leaves you alone). We're talking, in short, of the triumph of pragmatism (tragically misguided though it may be) over principle.

Demagoguery: Demography Does Not Threaten Israel's Future (Townhall.com)
It is Israel's Jewish population that is undergoing a remarkable surge, rising from about 80,000 per year in 1995 to 130,000 in 2012. "Anyone suggesting that Jews are doomed to become a minority west of the Jordan River is either dramatically mistaken or outrageously misleading."

If Israel Has No Right To Exist, What Is America's Right to Exist? by Michael Medved (Townhall.com)
No Arab nation ever existed in this area, only ill-defined pieces of various Islamic, Turkic, Byzantine and Roman empires over the course of 2,000 years. The only time any national identity existed centered on this particular piece of real estate, that national identity was Jewish.
Muslim Television Miniseries Aims To Expose the 'Naked Truth' About the Jews and their Untrustworthiness (Commentary)
The popularity of such smears should send a chill down the backs of those who continue to argue that Palestinians and the Arab world are ready to give up their hundred-year-old war to eradicate the Jewish presence in the region.
Jewish Civil Rights and Privatization by Caroline Glick (www.CarolineGlick.com)
The supposedly grassroots groups of local rioters - including children - attacking IDF soldiers and Israeli civilians with bullets, firebombs and stones are not at all independent or grassroots. They are wholly owned and operated franchises of the PA. And the ones leading the attacks are the US-trained Palestinian security services.

Ordaining Women? by Rabbi Levi Brackman (www.LeviBrackman.com)
Having had the opportunity to teach Talmud to girls, it is clear to me that there is a real thirst amongst some Orthodox Jewish girls and women to have the same ability to access Judaism's primary texts as is afforded to their male counterparts. Denying them this opportunity is an untenable position to take in 21st Century America.
Is It Possible that al-Qaeda Is Behind Colorado's Black Forest Fire? (Atlas Shrugged)
Fire wars are not limited to Europe and the U.S. Palestinan jihadists have been setting fire to Israel's modest forests for many years. However, political correctness seems to override Israeli and Russian warnings of that jihadist modus operandi. How many Tzarnaevs are hiding in Colorado's woods?

Saifuddin's record at UC-Berkeley is hardly one of tolerance and love.

Double Standards at University of California (American Thinker)

VIDEO: Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat Refutes Those Who Question Jerusalem's Status as Israel's Historic Capital (YouTube)
Perhaps even ore remarkable...is that he actually a published a memoir in 1995 in which he admits to founding the Ukrainian Self Defense Legion, serving as a company commander, and collaborating with the SS.
For the next several weeks Rinkevicious stayed after work and built a false wall in the attic, sometimes with the help of Kagan's father, and created a six-foot by six-foot box, were the family could hide. He did that "for a man he hardly knew, at the risk of his life and at the risk of his family's life."
"Exposing young Jews to Israel helps broaden their awareness and deepen their cultural identity. We are committed to the goal of all young Jewish adults having the opportunity to be inspired by their ancestral homeland," Miriam Adelson said.
