To his parents’ friends, he was “Mrs. Greenberg’s disgrace,” but to sports fans he is one of the greatest – if not the greatest – Jewish baseball players of all time. Long before Sandy Koufax, Hank Greenberg excited Jewish sports fans with his prowess on the baseball diamond.

The annual Home Front Drill is quite routine. This year there are more reasons for Israelis to take it more seriously, such as Assad, Hezbollah and chemical weapons, for starters. Hope for the best.
JERUSALEM – As Shiite Hizbullah and Sunni anti-Syrian government rebels battle across Syria and Lebanon, and Egyptian and Jordanian forces confront al Qaeda terrorists in the Sinai and southern Jordan, the emir of Qatar blamed Israel for the chaos that threatens to plunge the entire region into war.
To eat is to live – to keep our physical bodies alive. For without the body, there is nothing. No experience. No memory. No joy and no hardship. But man, unlike animals, eats to live and to enjoy. So how should a Jew respond when he is challenged as to why he imposes upon himself not just ceremonies dedicated to the enjoyment of eating but even more to the limiting of what he can eat?
WASHINGTON – Poland is a stalwart American ally in Europe, a bulwark against an increasingly belligerent Russia and, with the recent opening of a major new Warsaw museum, is enjoying a flush of accolades for its belated embrace of its Jewish roots.
Israelis are familiar with archaeological finds dating back centuries and sometimes thousands of years. Now the world’s most popular museum, the Louvre, exhibits a 1,700-year-old mosaic found in Lod.
A Muslim cleric in moderate Tunisia called for her stoning death.
Neither Secretary of State Kerry nor the president he serves seem to understand Russia’s goals in the Middle East.
If ritual observance is voluntary and all that counts is ethos, why not just drop the whole charade and just call anyone with an ethical perspective on life a Reform Jew?
You might think that six Khamenei followers might split the hardline vote but don’t worry as that will be taken care of in the ballot-counting if necessary.
Why didn’t then Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz and then Prime Minister Ehud Barak demand that all the footage shot by France 2 on that day be placed at Israel’s disposal to do a proper investigation?
An interview with Jay Shultz, president of the Am Yisrael Foundation.
To assume that your opponents have any decency, as the Republicans habitually do, is to be left behind in Politics 1.0.
The Hamas and Hezbollah fingerprints are on the yeshiva student’s murder as they are on the multi-million dollar smuggling operation.
Leah Katz, a TeenZone camper at Oorah’s TheZone summer camp and an 11th grader at Midwood High School, read her winning essay about how TheZone changed her views on Judaism at the Jewish Heritage Awards Ceremony held at Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes’s office in April. The purpose of the Jewish Heritage Essay Contest is to acquaint public school students with Jewish history and customs and to help foster a deeper understanding of Jewish culture. The contest is open to students of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. Leah’s essay is reproduced in full below.
Human Rights Watch recommends that any party with the power to do so should do all it can to keep weapons from reaching the brigade.
“Our policy is not aimed at regime change, but rather at changing the regime’s behavior.”

Hello¸
I am a messenger of God in accordance with the holy Quranic verse 28:59. It is my bounden duties to protect all the communities in the world.
Now¸ a film under the name and style of innocence of Muslim has been published by Google and Youtube against prophet mohamed and Muslims which is creating trouble between Islam and Christians brother hoods in he world which is against the holy Quranic verses 5:82¸ 20:129 and 130 and as such no Muslim can harm Christians.
The Christians and Jewish can go through the Quranic verse 7:157 on the basis of holy Torah and Bible wherein prophet Mohamed has been mentioned as prophet¸ after Jesus¸ but the same fact was not followed by the two communities of Jewish and Christians in the world and accordingly Jewish and Christians are divided into various group till a Day of Resurrection according to the Quranic verses 5:13 and 14.
God has also created palestine to create trouble to jewish till a Day of resurrection in accordance with Quranic verses 7:163 and 167.
We conducted a survey and research that why Christians and Muslims are not.
cooperating with each other in the world? We found the following.
answers.
1. Christians are well educated and research scholars to research each.
and every issue brought to them, but unfortunately Satan occupying not.
to apply their mind to analyse that how Jesus was killed and crucified.
when God has given him five favours and one out of it is he brought.
forth dead.
2. Jews are not accepting our prophet Jesus that they tried to kill.
Jesus, but Christians are following Jews and depend upon their advice.
3. Christians fail to realise Matthew 14:23 and Quranic verse 5:14 and.
9:31 that and when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a.
mountain apart to pray. If Jesus is God or a part of God then why did.
he pray?
4. Christians are not interpreting Matthew 27:11-14 to mean that Jesus.
wanted to die on the cross for the redemption of mankind and for the.
forgiveness of their sins. If so, then why did he ask to turn away.
that cup from him? Why did hr cry out while on the cross?
5. Muslims are accepting Jesus as prophet and his mother Mary, but.
Jews disbelief and uttering against Mary, a grave false charge (that.
she had committed illegal sexual intercourse).
6. Muslims believe that Jesus was not killed and crucified by the Jews.
as revealed in the holy Quran verse 4:157 and 158.
7. Most of Muslims in the world are not educated and innocent. Some
leaders and organisations are misleading young Muslims to fight with.
other communities as Jihad which is not recognised in the Quranic.
verses 5:32, 22:40, 45:14 and they are termed as perverts in.
accordance with Quranic verse 2:99.
8.Christians failed to interpret Quranic verse 4:157.
and158,5:14,5:82,7:158,
57:27 and 28 and 61:6 read with John 14:15-16,15:26-27,16:5-8, read.
with Matthew 10:16.
I am a follower of Christian and islam according to quranic verse 57:28.God invite all my Christians brotherhood in the world to follow Christian and islam.Kindly read Quranic verse 57:27and 28 which are available in Quranic English Translation website.All are requested to follow me in the interest of world peace solutions and unity in the world among all of you as iam a messenger of God in according to quranic verse 28:59.
