Oh, th nrv! Gint lps in rpiring body dmg
Janis siegel Jtnw columiMillions who suer rom
nerve damage and even paral-
ysis may soon be able to take
a heretoore impossible giant
leap orward aer the results
o two successul el AvivUniversity studies one
using a gel inside a biode-
gradable nerve wall implant,
and the second that injected
a newly discovered protein
compound in animal sub-
jects that provided substantial
healing results.
While medical discov-
eries bring us ever closer to regenerat-
ing organs such as the liver and even the
heart muscle, the nervous system, whose
damage leaves many people with perma-
nent pain, loss o movement, and paraly-
sis, remains uncured.
Earlier this year, a team headed by
Pro. Zvi Nevo and Dr. Shimon Rochkind
rom el Aviv University created the gel-
implant therapy that regenerated periph-
eral nerves.
Although the doctors say that the pro-
cedure is still a ew years away rom use in
a clinical setting, the gel, called Guiding
Regeneration Gel, promotes nerve growth
and was also ound to potentially restore
unction to a damaged or torn nerve, with
or without the use o the bio-
degradable implant.
Te gel by itsel can be
used as a stand-alone prod-
uct, acting as an aid to cell
therapy, said Rochkind in aAU interview. GRG is not
only able to preserve cells,
it can support their survival
while being used or therapy
and transplantation.
Every day, our bodies use
a vast nerve network set in
motion by electrical signals
within our body. Peripheral
nerves transmit signals rom the spinal
cord out to the rest o the body and they
also reverse the process, transmitting
external signals back to the spinal cord.
A damaged nerve cannot communi-
cate with the rest o the nervous system
or transmit signals back and orth as its
designed to, which impacts a persons abil-
ity to move and eel.
Te key to the gel-implant healing pro-
cess, said Rochkind, is that the implant,
which is tube-like, creates a bridge that
encourages the torn cell ends to connect.
Te gel is derived rom antioxidants,
synthetic brous protein peptides, and
hyaluronic acid to prevent drying. Te
tube was a major actor in the restoration
process, said Rockind, even in cases with
massive nerve damage.
When grown in the gel, cells show
excellent development as well as intensive
ber growth, he said. Tis could have
implications or the treatment o diseasessuch as Parkinsons, or which research-
ers are actively exploring cell therapy as a
potential solution.
Another 2013 study at AU by Pro.
Illana Gozes, a recent recipient o the
Meitner-Humboldt Research Award or
her lielong contribution to brain sciences,
shows great promise but is urther away
rom an applied clinical use.
Gozes, the director o AUs Adams
Super Center or Brain Studies, who holds
the Lily and Avraham Gildor chair or the
investigation o growth actors, with her
research team developed davunetide, or
NAP, a peptide compound that heals
microscopic tube-like units ound inside
brain cells called microtubule networks.
Te compounds ultimately transmit
important proteins that allow the cells to
communicate. Tis is the kind o commu-
nication that ails in diseases like Parkin-
sons and Alzheimers.
Te experiment, using two groups o
animal subjects, ound that one injection
o NAP could preserve and revive dam-
aged microtubule networks.
Both the mouse group that was gene
ically produced to have the nerve ce
damage and the group in which it w
induced by the use o an injected su
stance showed retarded cell damage
restored nerve cell unction.In both control groups o mice that d
not receive the NAP, each continued
experience nerve cell decline.
Te study was published in the journ
Neurobiology o Disease.
Gozes said that uture research mig
discover which patients would benet th
most rom the therapy by developing
better clinical application.
Earlier research with NAP indicat
that patients with low cognitive unctio
scores, which are usually an indication
a developing case o Alzheimers diseas
improved with the use o NAP.
In addition, earlier studies were show
to improve the damaged microtubule ne
works o patients diagnosed with schiz
phrenia.

Its tim to gt ovr ourslvs:Th lssons of th Pw survy
dOnniel hartMan spial o JtnwFacts rarely shape or change our opin-
ions. We preer to select the acts that
mirror and justiy that which we alreadyhold. Te release o the recent Pew survey,
A Portrait o Jewish Americans, with its
treasury o acts and gures, has caused
a tsunami among Jewish leadership and
social media as we all scramble to locate
the acts that can serve our preexisting
individual or institutional purposes and
cherished truths.
his process has a celebratory and
sel-congratulatory eature. For example,
many Israeli voices nd in the survey the
proo that they have been searching or to
justiy the Zionist claim o the unviability
and unsustainability o Diaspora Jewish
lie. Some within Orthodoxy nd evidence
to the unviability and unsustainability
o a liberal Judaism. Many voices within
other denominations nd evidence prov-
ing the superiority o their approach. Te
discourse around the survey invariably
takes on a orm o I told you so. When
one rees onesel rom ones ideological
and institutional loyalties, however, the
survey provides important inormation
and insight into the nature o our people
and uture directions that may warrant
consideration.
One interesting act exposed by the
survey is the scarcity o movement rom
less to more observance. People leave
their denominations to become increas-
ingly Jewish without religion, but rarely
increase their commitment to tradition
with its consequent aith and required
practices.
Te undamental lesson to be learned
is that we all have to get over ourselves.
Whether our denomination or belie
ares better in the commitment o its
adherents to Judaism, to raising chil-
dren Jewishly, and to the State o Israel,
it is simply irrelevant. Te less or dier-
ently observant are not going to change, i
change means accepting religious presup-
positions and categories that are at present
alien or absent in their lives.
Diversity is not the product o ailed
education or the lack o exposure o one
group to the truth and beauty o the other.
We dier Jewishly because as people
we have dierent notions regarding the
essence o our tradition, and dierent
approaches to what makes a lie a lie o
value. Te plurality o Judaisms is the
result o an ideological gap not a lack
o knowledge.
he undamental challenge we ace
regarding the uture vitality o our peo-
ples Jewish identity and commitment is
how to create ideas and experiences inter-
nal to each conceptual and ideological
ramework that are capable o garnering
greater excitement and depth o com-
mitment. In the end, victory will not be
achieved through the withering away othose who disagree with me nor through
the proven sustainability o my approach.
As I mentioned, we have to get over our-
selves. Victory will be attained when ever-
increasing numbers o Jews, regardless o
their aliation or lack thereo, will eel
more deeply connected and committed to
their Judaism.
In this process, it is critical to distin-
guish between that which is a core and
essential eature or reality o a particular
Jewish ideology, denomination, or soci-
ological classication and that which is
a current maniestation and expression
alone. Te acts that shed light on the latter
provide insight or educational responses
and new programmatic possibilities; the
acts that shed light on the ormer obligate
us to reshape our denitions o ourselves
as a people.
Tus, or example, even i living in
Israel, being Orthodox, or not intermarry-
ing increases the chances o ones children
being Jewish, this is merely a statistical
act as to the new reality o contemporary
Jewish lie, and not one with educational or
programmatic signicance. North Amer-
ican Jews on the whole are not going to
move to Israel, abandon their liberal sen-
sibilities, nor stop marrying ellow Ameri-
cans who embrace them and want to marry
them. Tese are not current maniestations
o 21st-century Jewish lie, but ongoing
and core eatures o this reality.
he key question or the uture o
Jewish lie is not whether one can change
this reality, but what one must do to
change the seemingly detrimental con-
sequences o this reality or the uture o
Jewish identity. Accepting this is one o
the greatest challenges o leaders and ideo-
logues to work within a given reality
to improve it instead o antasizing about
shaping it in ones image.
An interesting, important, and as-yet-
open question is whether the move away
rom institutions and denominations, as
identied in the survey, is a new reality or
merely a current maniestation. Tat Jews
see Judaism and Jewish identity increas-
ingly in terms that are less religious, I
suspect, is a reality. Here, paradoxically,
North American and Israeli Jewry are
becoming similar. Te religious-secular
divide o Israel is increasingly an appro-
priate lens with which to view North
American Jewry. But as we have been
learning here in Israel over the last decade
or so, the categories o both religious and
secular are neither monolithic nor one-
dimensional.
For example, secular does not mean
less Jewish, but dierently Jewish. While
most secular Israeli Jews believe in God,
the essence o their secularity is not deter-
mined by their aith but by the act that
they do not see in the worship o God, and
the rituals it entails, an essential part o
their Judaism. Jewish secular Israelis can
have a robust Jewish lie that entails com-
mitment to Jewish values, observance o
the Jewish calendar and liecycles, partici-
pation in Jewish culture and learning, and
loyalty to the Jewish people and their well-
being. Many o these eatures are or can be
dening aspects o a uture, vibrant, less
religious North American Jewry.
Te open question is whether Jewish
institutions and denominations can adapt
and continue to serve as important vehicles
or deepening Jewish identity and connec-
tions. It is my hope that what we are seeing
is merely a contemporary maniestation
and not a new reality. Our institutions will
require new thinking as they reimagine
their roles, but I believe we will do a huge
disservice to our uture i we believe we will
be better served without them.
Te human being is still a social animal
in need o community, particularity, and
individual connections. We are still i
need o partners, riends, services, assi
tance, guidance, and leadership at diere
moments o our lives. We still experien
moments when a connection to our pa
is a source o strength and inspiration. A
innovative and courageous educationa
religious, and lay leadership are capab
o providing the above, so long as we ar
open to rethinking the way we approac
our tasks and dene our goals.
One o the important eatures o ou
traditions understanding o Jewish iden
tity is that it is a national one and n
merely a religious one. One becom
Jewish through birth, conversion, or ma
riage and remains so regardless o ait
and practice. Consequently, sociolog
cal data about the Jews are not mere
descriptive, but denitive as to who w
are. Modernity and, in particular, lie
Israel and North America have change
the rules o the game. Te question is ho
we are going to play.

if not now, when?
When Abraham our father opened his tent to two strangers, he was committing a revolu-
tionary act. Fear of the stranger is deeply ingrained in human consciousness. When we examine
the word kindness we see that it contains the root kin. It is far easier to be kind to our kin,
those from our own tribe. Our ancestors established a system of ethics that sees the humanity
in all people. Yet, we read further on in the story that Abraham drove away his son Ishmael andthe boys mother. Surely this is a tear in the fabric of our heritage that caused and still causes
endless bloodshed and suffering.
As I write this, leaders from Israel and the Palestinian Authority are in Washington, D.C.
engaged in negotiations. This process is of necessity secret. Will they succeed in birthing a
Palestinian state within the agreed upon nine months? So far neither party has walked out.
All of us who love Israel hope and pray for her to remain Jewish and democratic, and gain
respect from the rest of the world. I maintain that we as American Jews need to support the
peace process wholeheartedly. To do so requires a leap of faith, yes. We need to put aside
thousands of years of fear and mistrust, all based on brutal historic reality. If not now, when?

against our mission?
I agree with Steven Hemmat (Allowing diverse opinions, Letters, Sept. 13). Why does
JTNews give a oor to opinions that side with people that want to destroy the Jewish state
of Israel? Palestinian leadership tried to destroy Israel even before 1948 under British rule and
more so after 1948. Can anyone nd a map of Israel in Palestinian school books or media?
Have you read the Hamas charter that calls for the destruction of every inch of Israel and
calls explicitly for the killing of Jews? Isnt it against the mission statement of JTNews as a
Jewish newspaper?
I am surprised the JTNews didnt nd it necessary to respond nor to x the inconsistency
of the action with the JTNews mission statement.

Th ky word in growing high school progrms: Opportunity
JOel Magalnickedior, JtnwWhen it comes to Jewish education,
teens in search o something more than the
typical classroom learning experience have
plenty o options. While several synagogues
around the area have long oered supple-
mentary education within their walls, twoprograms have been growing either inde-
pendently or as consolidations o multi-
ple congregations to allow teenagers who
might not otherwise have an opportunity to
meet to study and work together.
Te Livnot Project debuted last year as
a social-justice-learning program between
Conservative congregations Beth Shalom
in Seattle and Herzl-Ner amid on Mercer
Island. It has renamed itsel Livnot Chai
upon bringing the Chai School, a our-
year-old joint program between emple
De Hirsch Sinai and emple Bnai orah,
both Reorm synagogues in Bellevue, into
its old as the school year began.
Creating a multi-denominational
setting or high school students is really
important in terms o how theyre going
to experience their Jewish selves in college
and post-college, said Julie Hayon, Livnot
Chais director. Tis model is setting
them up to eel connected to the Jewish
community in a more successul way.
Students also attend rom Everetts
emple Beth Or, the Kavana Cooperative
in Seattle, and Congregation Kol Ami in
Woodinville, as well as a handul o stu-
dents who are unaliated with a congre-
gation. Hayon said the program will see
some changes with its larger ootprint.
On the Eastside we broadened the
curriculum, she said. Whereas Livnot
was always purely a social justice-based
program, this is three tracks: An arts track,
called Bezalel, a chochma track, which is
more philosophy and learning, and then
this Livnot social justice track. All three
are going to be through the lens o social
justice.
Yohanna Kinberg, associate rabbi at
emple Bnai orah, is running the Beza-
lel track, which runs the gamut rom son-
gleading to photography.
I have 30 kids in my elective, and they
all have dierent interests, Kinberg said,
which means that within the curriculum
she is piloting ideas almost in real time,
working with the actual kids.
Te ability to make on-the-fy changes
to the program made integrating the Chai
School into Livnot a big draw or the tem-
ples and or the teens.
You need to meet them right where
they are, Kinberg said, and provide them
the best experience possible.
Rabbi Jill Levy, Herzl-Ner amids
director o congregational learning, called
the growth o Livnot an amazing oppor-
tunity. For her students, it increases the
course oerings while increasing their
riendship base.
We really eel like its crucial in the
post Bnai Mitzvah years that these kids
are part o one Seattle Jewish community,
she said. I would call this a broad-reach
eort to bring as many teens together as
possible and to orm a partnership that
previously hasnt existed in the past.
Another addition to the partnership is
the J.eam teen philanthropy program,
which was a program o the Jewish Fed-
eration o Greater Seattle. J.eam will
consist o monthly get-togethers or stu-
dents to discuss social justice and chari-
table giving. Hayon said that because they
ound challenges in getting kids to cross
Lake Washington each week, this program
will run concurrently on both sides o the
water with occasional joint meet-ups.
Tere are a lot o ways that were
bringing the two sides together, through
grade-level retreats and through some
service-learning opportunities through
the community, and also through trips,
said Rabbi Daniel Septimus, director o
congregational learning at emple D
Hirsch Sinai.
Opportunities include volunteering
events such as We Day, which will conne
15,000 teens rom around the world in th
spring to discuss creating social change.
Septimus said the consolidation o th
schools creates better opportunities o
everyone involved.
What Livnot is bringing is wonderu
community resources, such as the Mu
lim-Jewish dialogue were doing, he sai
Te more resources you have in the sam
room, the better. Were living in an ag
in the Jewish community where we hav
ewer and ewer resources and we hav
to gure out better ways to better utiliz
them together.
Because, as Kinberg noted, the cu
riculum or the original Chai School w
already in place when Livnot approache
Septimus said he doesnt envision a hug
shi rom what the original Chai Scho
was doing, at least in the near term. Bu
he said, Livnot is adding some mor
selections and options or electives, an
o course bringing new kids into the old
While many o the original Chai Scho
teachers have been integrated into Livn
Chai, the model established last year i
Seattle brings in teachers who are exper
in their elds.
Te way that weve chosen teache
is to pick proessionals in the communit
who are passionate about what they do i
their own work, and were asking them
to teach teens about doing that and ge
ting teens involved in that kind o work
said Hayon.
Tis method o bringing in experts
very similar to a popular course calle
Business, Ethics and orah (BE), a pa
o the supplementary Jewish High th
meets each week at the Stroum Jewis
Community Center on Mercer Island. On
o Jewish Highs many oerings or hig
school credit, BE last year ocused on pe
sonal nance, but is expanding outwar
this year to have more o a ocus on th
ethics and education o corporate busines
Its not nalized yet, but were lookin
at people who are in our community wh
are leaders o industry, said Ari Homan
who oversees Jewish High as well as th
NCSY youth group and Jewish Studen
Union groups that meet in public hig
schools across the Puget Sound Regio
In addition, some people are coming
rom out o town who t that mold as we
who we hope to have the kids talk to.

any diplomatic corps, al Goshen-Gott-
stein is an ambassador o sorts.
Goshen-Gottstein is Hillel at the Univer-sity o Washingtons rst Israel ellow, one
o a handul around the country. Te Israel
ellow program is a joint venture between
the Jewish Agency or Israel and Hillels
Schusterman International Center. She was
selected aer an extensive search process.
My ocus, Goshen-Gottstein says,
is to work with anyone who identies
as Jewish rom age 18 to 32 interested in
aglit-Birthright the ully unded trips
to Israel or young adults or MASA or
older students.
But theres more to her mission.
I think the main thing is just having
an Israeli walking around, smilingtalk-
ing to people, she says.
She will also bring some Israel-cen-
tered programming to Hillel that could be
political, yes, but also ood and cultural.
Mostly, she adds, I want to be a resource
or students who have questions, about
Israel and Judaism, no matter what their
background.
She really understands the value o
pluralism, says Rabbi Oren Hayon, Hillel
UWs executive director, and recognizes
the wide diversity o views on Israel within
the young adult community in Seattle
She is the perect proessional to meet
people where they are, and help deepen
their understanding o Israel.
Growing up Modern Orthodox in Jeru-
salem, al attended a religious high school,
but says she is not observant anymore. She
lived in Canada or the rst our years o
her lie, so her English her rst lan-
guage, but not my strong language is
fuent, but charmingly accented.
Te 25-year-old has a strong interest
in programs that combine education and
searching or Jewish identity.
She rst worked in the U.S. three years
ago as a shlicha, or emissary, at the Con-
servative movements Camp Ramah in
Wisconsin.
Tat opened my appetite, i you can
say that in English, she says.
al just nished her BA in psychol-
ogy and philosophy rom Hebrew Univer-
sity, having submitted her thesis paper just
this month. Most Israelis attend university
aer military service, so nishing school
quickly is the norm. But al wanted to
get a broader education beore I got a
degree and took an extra year o classes
in the humanities: A lot o Bible, Jewish
thought, she says.
As a commander in the IDF Education
Corps Israels is the only army in the
world with one al taught soldiers who
didnt nish high school in a GED-type
program. She instructed immigrants rom
around the world and members o minor-
ity communities, including many rom
Muslim and ultra-Orthodox communi-
ties, in English, Israeli citizenship, history,
computers and more.
I loved it, Goshen-Gottstein said.
We got a microcosm o the Israeli educa-
tion system.

eMily k. alhadeFF Aoia edior, JtnwOn a cool evening in early October,
approximately 60 women gathered in the
contemporary Winston Wachter Fine Art
gallery in South Lake Union. Over wineand Mediterranean-inspired appetiz-
ers, they chatted and perused the exhibits
beore taking their seats or a short pre-
sentation.
Hadassahs not just about our grand-
mas. Its about us, said amar Boden, a
Hadassah regional board member and one
o the event organizers.
Te occasion, Hadassah Plus Art, was
the rst o three new Hadassah Plus
events geared toward bringing a wider
demographic o women into the Hadassah
old. Hadassah Plus Cuisine and Hadassah
Plus Wellness are in the docket, due to roll
out in early 2014.
he organizers didnt spend much
time talking about Hadassah, but quickly
handed the proverbial mic over to Stacey
Winston-Levitan and Mimi Sternberg.
Winston-Levitan, a co-ounder and owner
o the gallery, briefy described the exhi-
bitions: Erich Wolls When Tings Go
South glass installation, and Peter Waites
Space ravel, large paintings o archite
tural spaces laced with neon gridlines.
Sternberg, an art educator, tied th
evening to Hadassah with a presentatioon Marc Chagalls stained-glass window
installed at the Hadassah Ein Kerem ho
pital chapel in Jerusalem. Sternberg sa
she rst saw the windows as a 15-year-o
on a visit to Israel and was blown away.
Trough descriptions o ve o the wi
dows and a history o the artists lie an
relationship to Israel, Sternberg explaine
that the stained glass was meant by Ch
gall to be a transparent partition betwee
[his] heart and the heart o the world.
O the 60 or so women in atten
dance, Boden and her co-planner Naom
Newman estimated about 50 o them we
new aces to Hadassah events. Te turno
was mostly the result o outreach to abou
300 women in their personal networks.
According to Boden, they receive
good eedback and acquired a handul
new members.

The Sanhedrin courts had the rule, I it be as clear to you as the light o morn, say it! I it

which means both a thing and the opposite o that thing. When you say somethings ast,
is it moving quickly, or not at all? When youre dusting, are you adding a fne powder or

Te satellite location is mainly a

Paciic Northwesterners will also

expertise in oering employment-
worthy job training and cradle-to-

Our vision is that we will carry
out projects that will acilitate the
cooperation and sharing o the
Israeli experience, said Anat Brov-
man, director o the Seattle areas
newly opened Friends o AKIM
USA oce, which will most likely be
located in Bellevue.
he Seattle branch will be
mostly concerned with undrais-
ing and launching prospective proj-
ects, said Brovman, such as camps, visits
to Israel to existing acilities, or sharing
AKIMs Israeli experience with local orga-
nizations willing to cooperate with us.
Headquartered in New York, Friends
o AKIM USA currently has locations in
Palm Beach, Fla., Los Angeles, and Cleve-
land and Columbus, Ohio.
In the U.S, AKIM is a 501(c)(3) tax-
exempt nonprot organization.
In Israel, AKIM operates within a $15
million annual budget, with hal o its
expenses covered by the government and
Israels social security program and the
other hal generated rom private dona-
tions and global philanthropy.
In 2012, Israels minister o health ini-
tiated mental health reorm through a
national health insurance order, which
transerred the costs o mental health
crisis services rom the Ministry o Health
to Israels HMOs. Tis change also com-
bined the mental-health-crisis-care system
with the general physical-medical-health-
care system.
According to Haaretz, one o the more
endangered groups impacted by this
shi in resources is the mentally ill.
AKIM in Israel operates group homes,
social clubs, summer camps, workshops,
and apartments or the disabled within
commercial residential buildings or more
than 30,000 disabled persons o all ages
throughout the country.
We believe that it is in our hands to
improve and to turn our society into a
better and a healthier one, said Mica Dan-
ieli, head o AKIM headquarters in the
U.S. We believe that it can be done by
providing the people with special needs
with an equal attitude.
A special IDF unit works with AKIM
on a project called Sar-El, which con
sists o small groups o disabled indivi
uals between 21 and 30 years old who a
accompanied by Israeli soldier-mentowho provide them with support, trainin
and leadership.
[Te disabled] work in the kitchen an
in actories assembling computers or pe
orming other duties that are essential
the army, Brovman said.
AKIM also collaborates with glob
companies on work-training program
through a project called Open Mark
Employment. Ikea and Promedico a
two businesses that employ AKIM pa
ticipants and give them an opportunity
have a job.
Once we all learn how to treat and
behave equally and with respect to tho
who are dierent rom us, said Danie
we shall enjoy lie in a better and a hap
pier society or us and or our next gen
eration.
AKIMs New York administrativ
director, Ben Rabinovitch, told JNew
the organization wants to grow and
continually scouting or new location
including potential outlets on Long Islan
and in Phoenix.
We are interested in raising awarene
and growing as much as possible here
the U.S., said Rabinovitch. Our goal
to help people with special needs in Isra
as much as we possibly can, and we w
spread our message wherever and howev
we can in order to reach that goal.
When asked why AKIM would open
Seattle, Rabinovitch said this population
a nice t or AKIMs goals.
Te Seattle metro area is home to
large and vibrant Jewish community
he said. It serves as a hotspot or youn
people looking to work in the high-tec
and related industries.
AKIM is open to all people who are di
abled on a nonpartisan, nonsectarian, ap
litical, and multicultural basis.

Hollywoods ann Frnk mks Sttl dbut
eMily k. alhadeFF Aoia edior, JtnwMillie Perkins was on her way to
becoming a successul model in Paris
when history intervened.
I had never decided to be an actress,
she said. I was probably 18 or 19 years
old. Little did I know I was going to be amovie star.
Now 77, Perkins is best known or her
role as Anne in the 1959 lm production
o Te Diary o Anne Frank. Perkins will
be interviewed by lm bu Foster Hirsch
at the Stroum Jewish Community Center
on Oct. 27 as part o the Js Jewish ouch
lecture series.
Hirsch, in addition to teaching and
writing about lm, handles celebrity inter-
views and has brought Perkins to Chicago
and Israel.
Fosters one o my most avorite
people around, so I said yes [to Seattle],
Perkins told JNews rom her home in
Beverly Hills.
Born in Passaic, N.J. in 1938, Perkinss
ace was gracing magazine covers around
the world by 1958. Director George Ste-
vens noticed her looks and invited her to
read or the part o Anne. But acting had
never occurred to Perkins, and she knew
nothing o the story o the Dutch girl
whose diary would come to impact West-
ern civilization.
She had already been modeling in
London and Paris
when the opportu-
nity arose to audition.
Its kind o a airytale
story, she said. All
my French riends said,Oh Millie, you must
go, Perkins said.
Perkins was one o
10,000 girls to audi-
tion or the part. Te
diary hit me right in
the heart, she said.
Ater six months
o shooting, Perkins
could have returned
to her Parisian airy-
tale, but it wasnt
meant to be.
I met this actor, Dean Stockwell, who I
married or like two minutes, and became
a Hollywood person, she said.
While Anne Frank went on to win
three Academy Awards, Perkinss acting
career never exploded. In the late 1970s,
a rumor spread that she had died. In act,
she had relocated to tiny Jacksonville, Ore.
to raise the two daughters she had with her
second, late husband Robert Tom.
I moved to Oregon to get o the loco-
motive, Perkins recalled. I was raising
my children. It was heaven to me.
When Tom died in 1979, Perkins sa id
she had to get back to reality, and in
1980 returned to Hollywood to support
her amily, where she acted mostly in tele-
vision, B-movies, and cult lms espe-
cially in mother roles. She appeared as
Sean Penns mother in At Close Range
and as the mother o Charlie Sheens char-
acter in Wall Street.
Tough Perkins sounds wistul as she
refects on the turns her lie has taken, it
has been an adventure.
I went out into the world, and I think I
really wanted to be my ather, a merchant
marine, she said.
While shooting the 1985 miniseries
A.D., in which Perkins played Mary,
mother o Jesus, in unisia, she was held
at gunpoint by Yasser Araats soldiers at
the airport.
Te guard looked at my passport and
my ace and said, No, she recounted.
He shoved me in the chest with his gun.
Perkins escort pushed her into a crowd
onto the tarmac. It was scary. O the
whole experience, she said, It was quite
wonderul and dicult. But it was un.
On another occasion, Perkins wa
seated next to ormer Israeli prime mini
ter Ehud Barak on a fight.
He told me wonderul stories, sh
said, like the time he came upon an Egyp
tian soldier alone during the Yom Kippu
War. In a stando, they held their guns o
one another. Ten, they looked in eac
others eyes and they both put their gun
down and shared their lunches. He nev
told anyone that story.
Perkinss talk comes at a signica
time: Tis November marks the 75th ann
versar y o Kristallna cht. he Museu
o olerance in Los Angeles is current
holding an exhibit about Anne Frank.
Te lm lay dormant or many years
Perkins said. Ten about 10 years ag
there was a new furry o interest.
She suggests the popularity o the stor
is related to the increased access to ino
mation and with it, hate.
I see terrible hate going on, and I se
great strides going on to change that
she said. I think Pandoras Box has bee
opened. Who knows how the human rac
will be in 10 or 20 years?
o this day, Perkins says she receiv
hordes o an mail rom viewers touche

Anne Frank is the reason they wri

addition to learning survival skills, Staszek has to choose between Jewish Zinnia
and Russian Luybk. In Redcurrants (2011, 34 mins.) Swedish resident, academic
and journalist Leo Kantor reenacts his life story: His childhood in Russia in World
War II, his adoption by his Polish-Jewish stepfather, and the witnessing of Ger-

b shlm MhRecently I went on a trip with my resh-
man class at Northwest YeshivaHigh School that was like no other.We sailed around Puget Sound orthree days without cell phones,
showers and iPods aboard theS.S. Adventuress, a 100-year-oldwooden schooner. My initial thoughtsbeore embarking were, Oy vey, howam I supposed to get through this?
Upon boarding the boat I was readyto chill with my riends or three days andenjoy the scenery, but that was not to bethe case. Within the frst hour o the trip, wewere hauling up the sails and cleaning potsand pans like real crew. We were given noslack because we were inexperienced andyoung; we were put to work like every other sailor toboard the S.S. Adventuress. At frst it was a little overwhelm-ing, having so much duty to fll all the time, but by the end othe trip we got through all our tasks easily and with much more enthusiasm thaon day one!
Being on the boat gave me a dierent perspective on teamwork. On the boaits literally all or one and one or all. In my lie I had never seen that phrasused so literally. Whether it was all hands on deck to haul up the our sails in thmorning, or taking turns watching the schooner in the middle o the night, everone looked out or and helped one another.
For three days we experienced an alternate universe. We looked at natufrst-hand, rom porpoises to sea otters. We learned about sail theory and thphysics o sailing. We learned about the ecology o the ocean and how importait is to keep it clean. Most importantly, we learned the true meaning o teamwoand caring or one another.

t il h h h
b eh GlgThe results o the survey o attitudes o American Jews in A Portrait o Jewish
America, conducted by Pew Research and published October 1, have sent shockwaves through the American Jewish community. One disturbing aspect o thesurvey results is the lack o connection younger Jews have to the State o Israel.
The survey ound that while over hal o those Jews 65 and older eel caring
about Israel is an essential aspect o what it means to be Jewish, o those 30 andyounger, only 32 percent eel this way. Equally startling, 68 percent o AmericanJews in high school or younger have not been to Israel. These results show thatthe number o young people who eel connected to Israel is drastically declining.
There is hope! Interviews conducted with Seattle-area high school studentswho recently traveled to Israel paint a dierent picture. While many Jewish teensare choosing to be unafliated and secular, some are strengthening their Jewishidentity and connection with Israel.
These summer programs enrich high school students and instill them with alove and appreciation o the Jewish identity and homeland.
Amit Perlin, a junior at the Seattle Academy o Arts and Sciences, went on theAlexander Muss High School in Israel (AMHSI) program and said he gained astronger Jewish identity, which includes Israel.
Amits experience with Alexander Muss entailed studying in Israel or eightweeks last spring and essentially attending high school in Israel, credits and all.Every week, Amit had classes as they hiked around Israel and learned by experi-encing the land one step at a time. He also learned Jewish history rom the Bibli-cal beginning o Adam, to the creation o Zionism, to present-day Israel.
There was a lot to learn in little time, he said. The hardest part, accordingto Amit, was at frst 24/7 being with people I never met and [going] out o yourcomort zone. But overall, an amazing experience.
Leah Ball, a senior at Auburn Riverside High School, went on United Syna-gogue Youth Israel Pilgrimage/Poland Seminar. I never elt so Jewish beore,she said. Leah spent one week in Poland and our weeks in Israel with USY. Herviews were extended, she said. I learned more than I thought I did.
Leah realized that the world is huge, but its also really small.Leah created connections with strangers she encountered in Israel, which
she called a testament to the Jewishidentity she developed on her trip.Leah also shared an intense tie with herpeers based on what they experiencedtogether. Leah recalls they all cried
together over tragedies that brought uscloser than we ever could have gotten.Albert Hanan, a junior at Northwest
Yeshiva High School, went on NationalCouncil o Synagogue Youths (NCSY)program, The Jewish Journey. This month-long program began in the north o Israeland toured down all the way down to thesouth, ull o hikes, visits to kibbutzim, andexploring. With his program open andaccepting o dierent levels o religiosity,Albert shared that it was interesting to learnabout dierent types o Judaism and howother people connect to Judaism.
Albert also discovered the culture o Israel, saying it ascinated him to see theven though Israelis share our religion, the culture is very dierent. In the enAlbert explained that his group really had become as close as a amily.
From Amit, Leah, and Alberts experiences, it is clear that although Israel isoreign land in some ways to Jewish America, a common connection will alwaybring us back and link us to the homeland. Each said they grew as people anas Jews as their two identities became one. Leah said there are no words tdescribe how amazing it was.
So i A Portrait o Jewish America fnds that younger Jews have less oconnection to the state and land o Israel and that Israel is not essential to theJewish identity, I think these three would beg to dier.
