It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave. Watch "This Is Your Life, Hanna Kohner" about Holocaust survivor in 1953 It was a time when the Holocaust was not often mentioned. What happened to her afterwards is also interesting. When the popular television program 'This is Your Life" aired Hanna Kohner's story in 1953, she became the first Holocaust survivor to share her story on American television. It's a story her daughter Julie Kohner is working to keep alive today, now that her mother, who died in 1990, is gone. 'I have the responsibility of ensuring that Hanna's story is not forgotten,"  Her mother, a Jewish woman from Czechoslovakia, survived four concentration camps, including Auschwitz. She and her childhood sweetheart and fiance Walter were separated by the beginning of World War II. He had secured a visa to the United States and promised to send for her. When the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia, she fled to Amsterdam, where she met and married a German refugee. The couple were eventually caught and arrested by the Gestapo after the Netherlands was invaded, and she never saw her first husband again. For seven years she lived a nightmare, falling to 73 pounds. When sent to bathe in Auschwitz, she never knew if she was being sent to shower with water or poison gas. She was eventually transferred to Mauthausen, where U.S. soldiers liberated her and other survivors. One of those soldiers wrote a letter to Walter, who started a search across Europe to find her. The reunited couple moved to Los Angeles. Hanna's brother also survived Auschwitz - the only other member of their family to survive - but they weren't reunited until the 'This Is Your Life," episode. Their emotional reunion was broadcast across the country. 'This is how America saw it. This was the first person on television to introduce America to the Holocaust," Julie Kohner said. 'People weren't talking about the Holocaust in their homes, let alone on television." Hanna wrote her story down in 'Hanna & Walter: A Love Story," a book that details what she experienced in the camps. Julie Kohner played a clip from a 1984 book tour interview with her parents. The host asked Hanna how she felt when people expressed doubt the Holocaust existed. 'This is why I had to write my side of the story," she replied. 'If we don't put it down and tell it to our children, there will be a day where people will doubt whether this really happened." That sentiment inspired Kohner to create a non-profit, 'Voices of the Generations," and an affiliated middle and high school curriculum. The curriculum centers on her mother's book and incorporates the 'This is Your Life" episode. During her visit to Cedar Rapids, Kohner and a member of the Thaler Holocaust Memorial Fund met with Cedar Rapids School Board members to talk about the possibility of using the curriculum in local schools. She said board members told her they will review the curriculum and hope to have a decision this summer. The Thaler Holocaust Memorial Fund was established in 1995 by David and Joan Thaler to provide support for education about the Holocaust to residents and students in Linn County. T She said sometimes students ask her why this story is important. She said she was she simply points to current events. 'We saw what happened in Paris recently. There's hatred. It's around," she said. 'Look what's happening now, even in Ferguson, Missouri." She said the children of the survivors have a responsibility to keep the story of what their parents endured alive. 'That generation is dying out very rapidly. There are so few survivors," she said before the presentation. 'It's up to us to continue on with our parent's legacy." https://www.thegazette.com/com...

RABBI SCHWARTZ'S TERRIBLE ARMY JOKES OF THE WEEK Acronyms at their best: -ARMY -- A Recruiter Misled You What do you call a soldier who ends is always saving a couple of important things? Reserves! What do you call kids in the military? Infantry. A soldier shows up for military training but realizes he forgot to bring his gun. The sergeant hands him a stick and gestures to the training field. "You'll have to use this, soldier. If you need to shoot someone, just aim your stick at them and shout 'Bangity bang-bang'. If someone gets too close to you, poke them in the gut with it as though it was a bayonette and shout 'Stabbity stab-stab'. Now get moving." The soldier thinks this is pretty ridiculous, but to his surprise, when he aims his stick at a fellow trainee across the field and shouts "Bangity bang-bang!" the other soldier goes down in a theatrical display. Then, another trainee tries to run past him, so he pokes the guy in the ribs and shouts "Stabbity stab-stab!" and he too goes down, pretending to be dead. So, the soldier starts running through the mock-battlefield, shouting "Bangity bang-bang" and occasionally "Stabbity-stab-stab", until eventually, he realizes he's the last man standing. He's feeling pretty proud of himself until another soldier rounds a corner and starts walking toward him. Slowly. Stiffly. Menacingly. The soldier takes aim with his stick and shouts, "Bangity-bang-bang!" But the other soldier doesn't go down this time. He keeps approaching, arms stiff at his sides, boots stomping aggressively into the ground. The soldier begins to sweat. He clears his throat, adjusts grip on his stick and hollers, "Bangity bang-bang!" But nothing happens. The other soldier keeps marching toward him. Now the soldier panics. He pretends to reload his stick and desperately cries out, "Bangity bang-bang! Bangity bang-bang! Stabbity stab-stab!" But to his dismay, nothing works. Finally, the other soldier reaches him, kicks him in the shin and knocks him onto the ground. He stands over the fallen soldier and says: "Tankity tank-tank." What do you call a soldier who survived mustard gas and pepper spray? A seasoned veteran. Did you hear about the accident on base? A tank ran over a box of popcorn and killed two kernels. A drill sergeant grumbles at his fresh young trainee, "I didn't see you at camouflage training this morning, Private." "Thank you very much, Sir," replies the soldier. Air Force pilot to a seaman: "You're telling me that you're in the Navy but can't swim?" Seaman: "You're in the Air Force. Can you fly?" During training exercises, the Lieutenant who was driving down a muddy back road encountered another car stuck in the mud with a red-faced Colonel at the wheel. "Your car stuck, sir?" asked the Lieutenant as he pulled alongside. "Nope," replied the colonel, coming over and handing him the keys. "Yours is." What do you get when you drop a piano on an Army officer? A flat major. What kind of breath mints do military officers use?

How do you know when a date with an RAF pilot is halfway over? He will say, "Enough about me. Want to hear about my plane?" RAF pilot: "That's it! We're flying faster than the speed of sound!" Co-pilot: "What?" What do you call a high-ranking officer who hates recycling? General Waste My friend asked why I would not tell him my military rank. I told him it's Private. An off-duty soldier took a train. When the train reached its first stop, a general walked in, and the soldier stood up. The General said, "At ease soldier, sit down." The train reached its second stop, again the soldier stood up, and the General once again said, "At ease soldier, sit down." When the train reached its third stop, again, the soldier stood up. This time, the General looked at him and said, "You don't have to salute every time we reach a stop." The soldier replied, "I want to get off, I missed my stop 2 stations ago." What do you call a soldier who never made it past boot camp? A Police Officer. An Aussie soldier and an American soldier are pinned down in a firefight. The Aussie gets up and begins flailing his arms and laughing. When he gets back in the foxhole, the American says: "Did you come here to die?" The Aussie responds, "Nah, I came here yesterday." Two low ranking soldiers were talking … It was a private conversation. See you Tuesday bli neder, tomorrow is the 7th day of Passover which is like a Shabbat..
