By Getzy Markowitz - Jewish Thought in Simple Words

Had Barack Obama not clinched his party's nomination, and had the democratic ticket still won the election, the outcome would still be overwhelmingly historic. This country would have elected its first female president. Hillary Clinton's inauguration would have drawn larger than usual crowds and brought women's liberation to its crescendo.

Our Western superpower has much to learn from a younger Middle Eastern democracy. If exit polls are accurate, Israel has elected its second female Prime Minister in 60 years. To be sure, Golda Meir was her country's fourth head of state, but she was hardly the first Jewish woman in a leadership position. Israel's being ahead of its time, is as old as time itself. Throughout our people's history, Jewish women have not only been looked up to and respected, but followed and revered.

Chabad Hebrew School class presents the poster they made using their hands about how children can help the environment in honor of Tu B’Shvat

GOSHEN, NY [CHI] — The recent Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shvat (literally, the 15th day of the month of Shevat on the Jewish calendar), the Jewish “New Year for the Trees” was celebrated through creative activities and programs by all ages with Chabad of Orange County, led by Rabbi Pesach and Chana Burston. “This is the season in which the earliest-blooming trees in the Land of Israel emerge from their winter sleep and begin a new fruit-bearing cycle,” explains Rabbi Burston. “We mark this day by eating fruit, particularly from the kinds that are singled out by the Torah in its praise of the bounty of the Holy Land: Grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates.”

BROOKLYN, NY — The economy is directing people towards cost-consciousness and dining in, rather than dining out. For many of these former restaurant-goers, especially singles who live on their own, the kitchen is alien territory. Perhaps they can prep a basic sandwich, or boil a box of pasta. But needing to feed a family or guests on an ongoing basis requires a bit more creativity and skill.
