While initially seen as an internal, American criminal issue, the Rubashkin case has now attracted international Jewish attention and concern, due to the severity of the potential sentence, which is due to be announced in the coming weeks. Award-winning investigative journalist Edwin Black was interviewed this week by Israel National Radio's Eli Stutz, and revealed his findings on the prosecution and his opinions about its severity.

They include blueberries, broccoli, salmon, and chicken.

Nightlife Does Lag Ba’Omer
The alleyway was dark, narrow and rocky. At times could be lonesome if that is where one ends up. But that was not the destination. A few more steps and I would be there. I knew I would be greeted with smiles and warmth that surpasses any expectation. I braved that alleyway and walked through the gate enveloped by an ambiance of fire, music, energy and young welcoming hearts; quite the combination and ingredients for a perfect way to erase the memory of that alleyway. There were young women of all different interests; Teachers, college students, writers, musicians, artists and the list goes on. Though I’m sure there was not one person around that bonfire who thought the same, we were all bound together in unity and spirit on that glorious night of Lag Ba’Omer.
