CIS

Vladivostok, Russia - Swastikas, anti-Semitic slogans and the words “Jews, get away to Israel” were discovered on the walls of the synagogue in Vladivostok, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia reported.

Israel Silberstein, rabbi of the Russian seaport on the Pacific, did not rule out the possibility that the incident was connected to a rally held last week by local radical nationalists and neo-Nazi skinheads. The incident was the third in recent weeks in which vandals targeted Russian synagogues. Previously, synagogues in Astrakhan in southern Russia and in Khabarovsk, also in the Russian Far East, were vandalized.

Santa Clarita, CA - The Israeli fencing champ dreamed of snagging a medal at the 1972 Munich Olympics for his prowess, but was lucky to escape with his life after terrorists stormed Olympic Village, killing 11 of his teammates.

Dan Alon, 61, started fencing at 12, but never hoisted another blade or spoke of the trauma after that day - until now.

The popularity of Steven Spielberg's 2005 film “Munich” has prompted him to speak out, to tell his story.

Chabad joins JLI to offer ‘You Be the Judge,’ other classes

Kansas City Jewish Chronicle

Kansas City, MO – The Chabad House Center of Kansas City is becoming one of nearly 200 sites affiliated with the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute by offering its first course this fall.

“You Be the Judge” is open to anyone interested in law and Talmud.
However, lawyers who attend all six sessions (it will be offered on either consecutive Tuesdays or Wednesdays, Nov. 7-Dec. 13) can receive Continuing Legal Education credit in both Kansas and Missouri, according to Rabbi Mendy Wineberg, who will teach the class.

JLI is a program of Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, and Rabbi Wineberg said it has “promulgated some beautiful courses.” The fall course on law will be followed by a winter session, “The Kabbalah of Character,” and a spring class, “Flashbacks in Jewish History.” For more information about JLI, visit www.myjli.com. To sign up for “You Be the Judge,” call Rabbi Wineberg, (913) 205-9524, or e-mail RabbiMendy@ChabadKC.org.
