If not for the Holocaust, there would be as many as 32 million Jews worldwide, instead of the current 13 million, demographer Professor Sergio Della Pergola has written in a soon-to-be published article.
Della Pergola, who holds the Shlomo Argov chair in Israel-Diaspora relations and is the director of the Division of Jewish Demography and Statistics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, attempts to estimate the demographic damage to Jews of the Holocaust. The Holocaust ‘struck a mortal blow particularly at the Jews of Eastern Europe because of their especially young age structure,’ and particularly the number of children. This led to significant long-term demographic damage. The quantitative ramifications are far beyond what we think,” he writes.

1. The basic outline of this week’s Torah portion is as follows:
The Torah first tells us about the eighth day of the inauguration of the Mishkan (the Tabernacle).
The Torah then continues and recounts how the two eldest sons of Aharon Hakohen (Aaron the High Priest) – Nadav and Avihu – died while bringing a “foreign fire” into the Mishkan.
Towards the end of the portion the Torah tells us the laws of forbidden animals and what constitutes a Kosher animal.
Finally, at the end of the portion the Torah tells us the laws regarding consuming forbidden reptiles and insects.

MONROE, NY [CHI] — Many local Orange County residents, from all walks of life, gathered on Wednesday morning, April 8th, at Chabad’s Monroe Location on Route 17m, to celebrate the rare Jewish practice of Birkat Hachamah, the blessing of the sun, performed only once every 28 years. It is recited on a specific Wednesday morning in the spring, when it is calculated that the sun returns to the same position in the sky it occupied at the time of Creation, and at the same time of the week, 5769 years ago.
