The great Jewish news of the week - November 4, 2011

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jewishprideradio/2011/11/04/the-great-jewish-news-of-the-week

I know that you've been very busy and you might have missed these incredible stories that took place this past week. If you want to catch up on all of them, please tune in to this show. At the end you also get a bonus... an inspirational message to take you through the weekend!!

Interview with Pinchas Avruch of Jewish Spirit-Ruach Yehudit


Pinchas Avruch is the Director of Development for Ruach Yehudit (Jewish Spirit), an Israeli organization contracted by the Education Ministry to provide Jewish education in the secular Israeli public schools and forge the Jewish identity of the next generation of Israeli teenagers.
Jewish Spirit (Ruach Yehudit) provides pupils with a unique learning experience of Jewish culture and values. The program is currently working in over 60 schools across the country
A Problem of National Proportions
For the first few decades of the State of Israel, the Ministry of Education passionately backed the teaching of Jewish subjects in the nation’s schools. The goal was to instill a strong sense of Jewish identity and develop a generation of Israelis who would grow up as knowledgeable Jews.
Even the most secular schools maintained rigorous coursework in Bible (Tanach), Talmud and Jewish law (Halacha).
In recent decades this standard has crumbled. Today, the majority of secular schools in Israel no longer include any traditional Jewish content whatsoever.
As a result, most young secular Israelis lack even a basic understanding of Jewish culture, let alone the deeper, more inspiring ideas and tenets of Judaism. In such an environment, there is little reason to connect to the land of Israel or fight for its defense. Indeed, studies show that draft deferment has become a “fashionable trend” among secular Israelis.

Interview with Marly Silverman of PANDORA


PANDORA founder, Marly Silverman, envisioned that NEIDs patients could do more by advocating together and for each other.
PANDORA is a non-profit organization formed in 2002 to provide patient resources locally in South Florida. Since those humbler beginnings, PANDORA has grown to be an internationally-supported advocacy organization influencing government policy and improving patients' lives locally and nationally.
Largely grassroots in its activities, PANDORA draws on and empowers patients to create the change needed.

Interview with Sarri Singer of One Heart Global

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jewishprideradio/2011/10/26/interview-with-sarri-singer-of-one-heart-global

Sarri Singer, born in Lakewood, New Jersey, is the daughter of New Jersey State Senator, Robert Singer. Until 9/11, Sarri worked two blocks away from the World Trade Center. Deeply moved by the tragedy of 9/11, Sarri decided to resign from her position in December 2001 and move to Israel. While there, Sarri volunteered with various organizations working with victims of terror. On June 11, 2003, Sarri was on Bus 14 in Jerusalem when an 18 year old Palestinian terrorist dressed as a religious Jew boarded and blew himself up. 16 people were killed, including all those seated and standing around her, and over 100 people were injured. Sarri was hospitalized for two weeks and then returned to New Jersey to be with family. Her story became high profile. She appeared on television stations such as CBS, FoxNews, CNN and radio interviews. She spoke before Congressmen and Senators in Washington, D.C. and politicians in New York and New Jersey.
In September 2003, Sarri returned to work and volunteering in Israel. In June 2004, she returned to the United States and in April 2006, Sarri co-founded an organization called One Heart Global (www.oneheartglobal.org) which focuses on bringing together victims of terrorism, from around the world and assisting with long term psychological care. Sarri has addressed audiences throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Israel and continues to share her unique insight into the ongoing struggle for victims of terror in Israel and around the world.

The 7 Wonders of Jewish History - Part 2

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jewishprideradio/2011/10/25/the-7-wonders-of-jewish-history--part-2

Everyone who studies Jewish history perceives that there's something unique about it. What many people don't know, however, is that the unusual and illogical course of Jewish history was predicted in detail in our Torah. Let's examine seven phenomena unique to Jewish history and seven prophecies precisely forecasting these phenomena. Then it'll be up to you to evaluate whether these events could have occurred through the natural channels of human history or whether, perhaps, someone's been pulling the strings, behind the scenes.
