Unlike public school, where school ends at around 2:00 in the afternoon, Maimonides School dismisses its students at 5:30 in the evening in the fall and spring, and at 5:45 in the winter. This extra-long school day at Maimonides creates many problems. For instance, it handicaps many students’ ability to join after school extracurricular activities and their capacity to do homework. The school should modify the hours of the school day to somewhat fix these problems. Especially for a Maimonides student, taking on extracurricular activities outside of school can be very stressful. Taking on an extracurricular activity can easily swallow up the already limited amount of time a Maimonides student has to do his or her homework every week. For example, students who choose to participate in a varsity sport have practice five times a week. Because school days are so long, these students get home at 9:00 PM or even later. By the time these tired athletes get home, all they want to do is lie down and fall asleep. Working for the next one to two hours certainly does not help their mental state the next day.

Many students at Maimonides feel pressured to not participate in as many extracurricular activities as they would like to because of the lack of time after long school days.

SPECTRUMMAIMONIDES SCHOOL STUDENT NEWSPAPER

TRAGEDY AT FORT HOOD

Okay to Eat? | 6

In early November, a

small group of seniors and

juniors traveled to Washing-

ton, D.C. to attend an AIPAC

High School Conference.

AIPAC, the American Is-

rael Public Affairs Commit-

tee, is an interest group that

lobbies Congress in support

of a strong relationship be-

tween America and Israel.

Contrary to popular belief,

AIPAC is not a traditional

political action committee

(PAC) since it is bipartisan

and does not endorse can-

didates who run for office.

When the Maimonides

delegation arrived at the

majestic Washington Grand

Hyatt, they picked up their

name tags and ran to the

conference’s main meet-

ing room just in time to

catch the end of the open-

ing remarks. They soon

learned that the delegations

there included people from

states including Michigan,

Florida, California, New

York, New Jersey and Mary-

land. Overall, there were

over 400 other high school

students, all eager to learn

what AIPAC was about.

When Maimonides stu-

dents received their name

tags, they also received

a schedule that told them

they would be hearing lec-

tures on topics ranging from

‘Understanding AIPAC’s

Mission and Mandate’ to

‘Iran and the Bomb.’ For

the first day and a half, the

Maimonides delegation was

divided into groups based

on their name tags. The

first speeches were mostly

about AIPAC’s mission and

why it is important. Also

After fighting through five ag-

gressive games, the Maimonides

boys’ soccer team boasted an impres-

sive 4-1 record. With a growing fan

base and a four game winning streak,

morale soared. Coach Borkow kept

his M-Cats in tip-top shape with at

least five rigorous practices a week

supplemented by daily sets of push-

ups. Assistant Coach Barbosa used

his years of soccer experience to

share powerful plays and innovative

game day strategies. As a team, the

M-Cats were poised to meet any chal-

lenges their schedule held in store.

In game six of the season, Mai-

monides faced Matignon High

School. Just a week before, Matignon

and Maimonides had battled it out in

true warrior fashion. Despite a late

game comeback by Matignon, Mai-

monides escaped with a 4-3 victory.

As they left the field, it was clear that

Matignon was hungry for revenge.

Everyone knows that eating in the

library is forbidden, yet people con-

tinue to do it anyway. It states in the

Upper School Handbook: “No food

or drink (except water) is allowed in

classrooms, in the library, or in the

shul” (Section 3-School Rules: Food

Outside Permitted Areas). This rule

has been in use for eighteen years. So

why doesn’t everybody follow it? Why

is it a rule to begin with? Has this rule

turned into a joke that no one wants to

adhere to? To answer this last ques-

tion, I first had to find out why stu-

dents eat in the library to begin with.

I believe I found my answer when I

interviewed sophomore Tess Niewood.

When I asked her opinion about the

prohibition of food in the library, she

was hesitant to respond. Ultimately, she

did agree that the rule “makes sense.” I

asked her if she thought that it was fair

that students disregarded the rule. She

answered that it’s not fair, but it’s not

something that is likely to change. The

library is a place where students hang

out; there are few other places to go.

The student lounge is very small, and

mostly used by juniors and seniors. The

Letter from the EditorsFebruary 2014/ Adar I 5774

Hey all,The last few weeks have been

quiet due to December vaca-tion and the snow days off from school. Despite the days off, the Student Council has been work-ing hard.

During the last Student Coun-cil meeting, several ideas for up-coming events were brought up, several of which involve sports. Currently, the Student Council is in the process of finding a date

for the annual dodgeball tour-nament. We are also excited to bring back the annual senior vs. faculty basketball game, which will take place in April. It has also been brought to our atten-tion that there is not currently a girls vs. faculty game. A sug-gestion was made to establish a girls’ vs. faculty crackabout game in order to fill this gap. We are looking into seeing if this is feasible.

One of our goals is to create a stronger connection between the grades. We are exploring different options for a possible school wide event in the coming months. We are always open to hear any suggestions. As always, feel free to talk to us in person or email us at [email protected] with any comments.

Yours truly,-Adam and Eitan

Cherished Spectrum readers,

That’s it. First semester is over. The seniors have moved from doing work to goofing off and writing a shpiel. (Yes, the shpiel is

happening.) Aside from the magnificent seniors, students of other grades are just realizing that the material they are currently learning is going to be on the final. But don’t worry: that’s still a few months

away. For now, we hope you’re as excited as we are about this

month’s issue of Spectrum. We’ve got some great, in-sightful articles.

Heads up, children: next month is the Purim issue. That means hilarious ar-ticles, crazy stories, and a chance to be part of Mai-mo’s largest humorous publication for the year. So get psyched! As always,

write for Spectrum, don’t be afraid to tell your story, and most of all, stand up for what you believe in.

Your adoring Editors-in-Chief,

Daniel,Beni,and Davey

OpinionReinstitute the Shiur

By doron Cheses ‘14

For the last six years or so, various rabbis from the Greater Boston comminuty have taught a weekly shiur at Maimonides. The shiur has generally focused on halachic questions related to the weekly parsha, and has consisted of a source sheet that usually included sources from the Gemara, rishonim and acharonim. This class was an optional club activity and was advertised to boys only. One Thursday in December, a female student decided to attend the shiur. After an ensuing storm of debates, the administration decided to stop the shiur because it did not completely comply with the philosophy of Maimonides School. It is this issue of the philosophy of the school that I would like to question.

According to the school website, “Maimonides School’s mission is to produce religiously observant, educated Jews who

will remain faithful to religious beliefs, values, and practices as they take their place as contributing members of general society.” As most students know, Judaism is a very complex religion, and each person must internalize it in his or her own way in order to be “observant.” When the school leaves no room for students to explore different sides of Judaism, whether from the right or the left, it is not preparing the students for interactions in the real world. In real society, it is unlikely that we will encounter many people who have the exact same philosophy as that of the school. As such, we must be open to these diverse perspectives in order to be able to bolster Ahavat Yisrael.

The volunteers who taught the shiur subscribe to a philosophy that is aligned with Bais Medrash Gavoha in Lakewood, NJ and its founding Rosh Hayeshivah, Rav Aharon Kotler. Some students

and rabbis at Maimonides may consider this hashkafa yeshivish or too right wing. Yet there are thousands of people in the world who could be considered yeshivish and they have a lot of great insights and ideas to contribute to the greater Jewish community. Whether or not one’s philosophy aligns with more yeshivish rabbis, it is clear that these more right-wing views have a lot to contribute to our fragile Modern Orthodox existence. As long as we focus on what they can give us instead of judging their philosophy as a whole, there is much to gain from their Torah knowledge.

A parallel to this point may be drawn to Conservative Judaism. Some Conservative Jews are very knowledgeable about Torah, the rabbis, and Jewish philosophy, and we owe these people a great deal of respect. Again, even though their Conservative philosophy may be very different

from our own Modern Orthodox one, they possess a lot of non-controversial, very insightful material to teach to the greater Jewish world. Throughout the process of determining Conservative halacha, there is a large amount of fascinating reasoning and thinking, and we can learn a lot from this process.

If the school wants us to be Torah-observant Jews in modern society, it must prepare us for the different streams of Judaism we will encounter. In the same vein, it should instill in us the fact that very few Jews think exactly as we do. It is the duty of the school not only to teach us about Modern Orthodoxy, but also to teach us about all forms of Judaism and how they contribute to the greater Jewish world. The school’s administration should recognize what a positive asset the shiur has been to its members’ spiritual growth, and allow a diversity of religious opinion.

OpinionBy Jonathan Cohen ‘16

When it comes to religion, fairness and equality are not deciding factors. Obviously, it would be ideal if everyone could get what they want, but in regards to something as holy and significant as the Kotel, pleasing everyone today would be the opposite of ideal.

In May 2013, a judge in Israel ruled that a previous Supreme Court mandate that prohibited women from performing traditionally male commandments had been misinterpreted. The ruling suggested that these actions should not be illegal.

The truth is complex: practice of these commandments by women should be legal as a whole, but their doing so in a public place and possibly inflaming tensions with other groups should not.

I do not hold a particular issue with Jewish groups like the Women of the Wall practicing their beliefs. The problem is where they practice them. In this specific case, the location happens to be what Jews consider the holiest place on earth. The recapture of Jerusalem and the Kotel in the Six-Day War was so important to our people because it

enabled us to pray to God at our holiest spot. Even being there and feeling a sense of closeness to God would be sufficient to some. Practices that are not considered absolutely acceptable by most Jews in Israel should not be practiced there. This is just like other religions not having the right to practice their beliefs in a universally sacred place like the Kotel. The main reason for this is because it causes extreme tension, hatred, and marginalization among the Jewish People, and overshadows whatever equality either side may be fighting for.

The establishment of the Women of the Wall has brought about intense dislike throughout some Jewish communities, especially Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox ones. Unfortunately, with hatred comes violence. No one can predict what might occur if people continue to practice frowned-upon beliefs in a very sacred and public location. In order to prevent further strife, it would be better for a group like the Women of the Wall to yield their recently granted permission to practice their beliefs, for their own safety. I am certainly not promoting violence, but rather predicting a

very plausible outcome that may occur if things continue to go the way they seem to be headed.

Violence is not the only component that convinces me to advocate against groups such as the Women of the Wall practicing at the Kotel. The deciding factor is that their practices are considered by many to be outright immoral. Of course, this is not a universally-held belief. You might ask, “Why should your beliefs take precedence over theirs?” The reason is fairly simple. According to Orthodox tradition, it is not acceptable for women to wear a tallit and tefillin. These actions are not acceptable according to the strictest interpretations of Jewish laws and customs. Therefore, if one happened to violate these laws or traditions in a place that is held to the highest standard of Jewish strictness, it would very much upset those who follow these standards.

The converse is not true for the Women of the Wall. Short of violence, there is nothing that Orthodox or Charedi Jews do at the Kotel that truly upset the Women of the Wall. There are things that the Women of the Wall might have minor quibbles with, but nothing

that they cannot cope with. In other words, there is nothing the Women of the Wall could say that should prevent more stringent Jews from practicing at the Kotel. On the other hand, the Women of the Wall are practicing beliefs that outright contradict the beliefs of other Jews, and this should not be tolerated. There cannot be different groups of Jews practicing whatever they believe at the Kotel, unless one practice does not directly contradict another’s practices. This is not the case with the Women of the Wall.

It is upsetting to admit that all types of Jews cannot exist in harmony in a place that they all consider to be the most holy. However, this is the harsh reality of religion. I simply do not see a way around it. It is unfortunate that one group should be permitted to practice their beliefs in a certain spot and one group forbidden to do so, but unless both groups can practice in a way that does not challenge the other, then there is no other way around it. Unless both groups can practice in harmony, then the group that is causing the disturbance must not be allowed to practice at that location.

masses of tired students, and remark on how they should be getting better sleep. Because of Maimonides’ long school days, students have fewer hours to get their work done than the average student in a United States public school. Maimo students barely have any time to spare when they get home. Maimonides cannot possibly assume that its students have the capacity to work like machines without wasting any time. With today’s media distractions like Facebook and Twitter, wasting time is part of every teenager’s reality. In fact, students having leisure time is not a waste, but is healthy. The current late dismissal time does not allow the students to have downtime, and therefore, homework becomes a domineering specter looming around every corner, threatening to devour what little free time the students have left.

The ever-necessary dual curriculum makes shortening Maimonides school days to public school length difficult. However, even if the school attempted to shave off thirty minutes from a school day it could help students tremendously in getting their work done. Alternatively, Maimonides could make school end

earlier without changing the length of the school day. If the school made classes start at 7:00 in the morning, an hour earlier than when school currently starts, school could end an hour earlier, at 4:30 in the afternoon. Many students would probably complain at the idea of waking up even earlier than they do now, but if students had more time to get their work done, they can go to sleep earlier and have a better night sleep than they currently do. Also, students would eventually adjust to waking up an hour earlier than they currently do. After the summer is over, waking up early for school is difficult, but eventually every student gets used to it. Once a student is up, he or she has the advantage of coffee and is surrounded by friends who can energize him or her. Asking a student to stay up past midnight, however, is unfair. Most students’ schedules are busy and stressful, and it is hard to have a life outside of school. Maimonides needs to allow its students more waking hours during the week to get away from school, so they can get their work done and be able to live a regular, healthy teenage life.

OpinionSave it for the Potheads Marijuana Should be Legal

By Beni snow ‘14

There are a lot of misconceptions floating around about marijuana and the effects of legalization. To attempt to further inform you about marijuana, I hereby present a hypothetical conversation between a curious American and an advocate of legalizing marijuana.

American: Why should we legalize smoking pot? Isn’t it an addictive drug?

Legalization Advocate: Well, you have to be careful when you call

marijuana addictive. I won’t lie, it can be addictive. But, unlike some drugs like heroin or many prescription painkillers, it isn’t chemically addictive, meaning your body doesn’t actually ever need it.

Marijuana addiction is like being addicted to shopping or video games; it’s not a physiological change, but purely behavioral. Also, statistically, it isn’t very addicting. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (not a very pro-marijuana organization) says that only 9% of marijuana users ever become addicted. Many more Americans are addicted to cigarettes than are addicted to marijuana.

American: But after smoking weed, won’t they move on to “hard” drugs that are more addictive and harmful?

Legalization Advocate: In my personal opinion, no. The reason why marijuana can be a “gateway drug” is because marijuana users are currently part of the illegal drug network. If marijuana were legal and it could be purchased like alcohol, there would be no need for marijuana users to make these illegal connections and enter the world of narcotics.

American: Even if pot users don’t move on to hard drugs, is not marijuana dangerous?

Legalization Advocate: Well, actually, it isn’t. Millions of people have died from alcohol poisoning and cigarette smoke, but those are legal.

Marijuana is essentially impossible to overdose on, unlike alcohol, and while there are some tenuous connections between marijuana and some health issues, like anxiety, it is nowhere near as harmful.

Additionally, many of the studies that look at the dangers of marijuana look at regular or heavy users, not the average user. That is like surveying alcoholics and concluding that alcohol cannot be used responsibly because it causes liver damage. There is a responsible way to use marijuana, just like there is a responsible way to use alcohol.

American: But wait! That wasn’t an argument for legalizing marijuana, but an argument for criminalizing alcohol and cigarettes.

Legalization Advocate: We tried that. It was called the Prohibition and it failed. People still drank and the alcohol was then coming from organized criminals. Sound similar to Mexican cartels?

Additionally, we cannot legislate morals. If the majority of Americans are fine with marijuana, it makes no sense to make it illegal. In fact, although only 7% of Americans regularly use marijuana, 38% admitted to trying it in a Gallup poll, and 58% favor legalization.

American: Fine, you may have a point, but I’m still not convinced.

Legalization Advocate: Well, maybe this might be informative. According to the ACLU, between 2001 and 2010 there were 8.2 million arrests relating to marijuana. The vast majority, 88%, were just for possession, meaning not tied to selling or another crime. According to the Wall Street Journal, this means that the US government has spent tens of billions of dollars on prosecuting and imprisoning Americans who committed a non-violent, victimless crime.

Millions of Americans, including the last three presidents, could have had their lives ruined with a criminal record over such a little thing. Does that seem fair?

There is also a racial component: despite nearly equal usage rates, black people were nearly four times as likely to be arrested for marijuana use than white people, according to the ACLU.

American: But isn’t all of your information biased?

Legalization Advocate: Well, I tried to present an accurate, balanced view. Of course I have my opinion, but I tried to be fair. Please note that all of my information was from neutral or anti-marijuana sources. I’m not trying to force you to change your opinion, but just think again about whether it makes sense to keep marijuana illegal.

On Tuesday, November 26, 2012, the state of Colorado became the second state to legalize recreational marijuana. In addition, a petition for recreational marijuana legalization in Alaska has received over 40,000 signatures and is pending confirmation. The Alaska petition is eligible for a vote in August. Marijuana, a preparation of the cannabis plant for medicinal or recreational purposes, can ease pain and cause relaxation. This may be an effective drug for a terminally ill medical patient, but for everyone else, marijuana is a danger, and its recreational use should be universally illegal.

Marijuana’s negatives outweigh its positives. Former administrator of the DEA Steven Greene reported in a letter to the New York Times that constant marijuana use can harm brain development and memory. Worse, the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute reported that smoking marijuana damages the lungs, causing numerous lung diseases. For someone terminally ill, lung disease and long-term brain development are of no concern, and the illusions of relaxation and pain relief would be of great help to them. But for all others, the chance of a fatal lung disease would be too high. When a government legalizes marijuana for recreational use, it is legalizing a kind of poison.

After marijuana is sold, there is no telling where it will end up. CBSnews.com reports that since Colorado has relaxed regulations on recreational marijuana, there has been a spike in emergency room visits from parents with kids who have eaten marijuana-laced foods. These kids often exhibit symptoms that include respiratory problems, extreme sleepiness, difficulty walking, and lethargy. These symptoms can only worsen, because vendors are increasing the potency of THC, the psychoactive chemical causing the effects in their marijuana strains.

As a whole, marijuana usage is on the rise among teenagers, even in places where it is not legal. According to CBS

news, more than a quarter of high-school age children were using marijuana in 2011 alone. CBS also reports that recent studies correlate the heavy use of marijuana with harder substances. Heavy pot smokers were almost twice as likely to use harder narcotics, such as cocaine or heroin, the study reported. Additionally, widespread legalization will make it easier for teenagers

to acquire the drug because of its legality in the residences of minors. Consider this the more detrimental version of the classic unlocked liquor cabinet. Any lapse in parental judgment could mean free marijuana for a student and all of his friends. Minors who take the drug also become socially isolated and perform worse in school. Adults may also feel the effects of the drug affecting their concentration and ability to work.

To conclude, the legalization of recreational marijuana without a prescription is dangerous to kids and adults, and hinders academic and physical capabilities. Marijuana should not be legal, and the “potheads” who are pushing for its legalization should instead be addressing the reason why they need marijuana and its generally detrimental effects. In the case of a terminally ill patient, this short break from the terrible reality is all that can be done. For the general population, however, marijuana is not the solution to the problem. It is a dangerous and temporary escape.

Colorodo had legalized marijuna, and Sean Azzariti became the first person to legally purchase marijuna there. Should other states legalize it as well?

Seniors Help Out with Project ShalomBy aderet liss ‘14 and shria krinsky ‘14

For the second semester, every senior is assigned a Project Shalom. They get each Wednesday off from school to do volunteer work and give back to the community. Many started their project on Wednesday, January 8th, although some had to wait a week or two for their projects to be ready for them.

One place where seniors are volunteering is the Brookline Teen Center. It is a program that gets kids to participate in fun activities with friends after school, instead of hanging out in the streets. Levi Kapilevich described its attractions, including a pool, ping-pong table, half-court basketball, recording studio and two-lane bowling alley. Levi claims, “It’s awesome. Josh Jacobson and I are helping them expand their program from high school kids to middle-schoolers also.”

Adam Katzman is also working at a Teen Center, but his is conveniently located in his hometown of Malden. Adam’s job is to help run the day-to-day activities for the teens. He feels that “It is incredibly rewarding to see that my volunteering has an impact.”

Daniel Schwartz decided to do his volunteering for Yachad. Daniel has enjoyed his experience with Yachad so far, saying, “I work for

Liz Offen, the coordinator of New England Yachad. I have so far publicized events online, signed us up for community special education listservs, and recruited new members. Depending on the week, I either work at Liz’s new office in Dedham or do publicity stuff online at home. I really have loved working for Yachad so far as I am experienced in the organization and have a close relationship with the coordinator.”

Many twelfth-graders have decided to work in schools, mostly as teacher’s assistants. Liorah Rubinstein shared her experience at Newton Community Service Center’s Child Care Center. “Volunteering at a preschool for Project Shalom has not only been a personally fulfilling experience but I am also grateful to be able to give back to my greater community, to pay it forward. Wednesdays have become the highlight of my week; I love my preschoolers!”

Two other students, Shira Krinsky and Doron Cheses, have also decided to work in childcare. They volunteer each week at East End House, a community center in Cambridge, in the toddler and preschool class. Cheses explained, “Project Shalom is a great opportunity for me to be in a new environment and serve the community through child care in a

very substantial way. Many of the three-year-olds I work with don’t have a male role model in their lives and I am privileged to be able to serve that role, to a certain extent, for them.”

Project Shalom gives seniors a chance to work in places that are out of the “bubble” that going to a Jewish private school has created for them. David Solooki and Beni Snow are working at St. Francis House, a homeless shelter in Boston. When asked to sum up the experience so far, Beni said, “Working at St. Francis House has been one of the most rewarding and eye-opening experiences that I’ve ever had. I’m able to help people that are in unfortunate situations; I really feel like my work is making a difference in someone’s life. It has alerted me to the very real problem of homelessness that I had not been previously exposed to.”

Project Shalom is a great way for second semester seniors to stay engaged in the rest of their high school experience. It also gives them a chance to start being more independent and get the types of experiences that will help them once they leave Maimonides. It’s a refreshing break from the thirteen years of five days a week of classroom time.

SchoolMaimo Advertises Upper School with Open House

By liorah ruBinstein ‘14 and shira krinsky ‘14

As the year progresses, eighth graders are starting to think about what lays ahead of them: high school. This year, student leaders worked with upper school administrators to present an open house to the future freshmen and their parents in order to acclimate them to the Maimonides high school experience that they love. The evening began with a catered dinner in the elegantly decorated auditorium. With lasagna, salmon, couscous and other delicacies to choose from, there was something for everyone. During the dinner, Rabbi Soskil welcomed the students and parents, and Hannah Stanhill delivered an eloquent dvar torah.

Following dinner, the crowd moved into the shul where faculty, administrators, and seniors Liorah Rubinstein and Jared Kraay were part of a panel discussion. For the first half hour, the eighth graders sat up front and were given the

opportunity to ask questions while their parents watched from the back. The first brave soul to raise his hand inquired about the importance of Limudei Kodesh grades vis a vis colleges. From there, their questions primarily revolved around such issues as placement and tracking. Shayna Mael ’18 reflected that “It was helpful to see how much other students enjoy Maimo high school and how each teacher is looking forward to meeting us and being our teacher.”

After the panel, the parents and children parted ways for two separate activities. The parents remained in the shul for an extended Q & A with the panel while the students got to move onto the highlight of the night (after the delicious food, of course): a taste of what the Maimonides high school experience offers besides for just the academics. Many of the favorite extracurricular activities and clubs had representatives lead an activity, and each eighth grader got to choose one club to join for the night. Each eighth grader got

to see part of what their life would really be like attending high school at Maimonides, and it helped take their mind away from the scariness that the academic part of high school might present to them.

Business Club, for example, ran a session about the differences between Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks, and then had the students split into two different groups and propose how they would choose to run their own coffee chains based on the discussion. Yachad ran a session where students put themselves in someone else’s shoes and experience what it was like to learn with a disability, and gave students a more empathetic view for the future. One student remarked about that activity, “It was really fun and creative. It made me interested in joining it in high school.”

After twenty minutes, students and parents were reunited for a delicious dessert, and then the night was over. Everyone, from parents to eighth graders to even current high schoolers, left with

a new perspective on high school. “Explaining why I love Maimonides to the students and parents made me realize just how lucky I am to attend this school,” one club leader that attended the Open House said. The eighth graders also left with something more physical: a brand new shirt to show their “Class of ’18” pride.

Maimonides, he will greet students and ask how they are. He will also personally open the doors when you walk in and out of the school. He tries his best to do the little things that make us happy. Ben is not just a security guard—he is a man who protects our school, and always with a smile.

At first he was reluctant to do an interview for Spectrum since he does not like to talk about only himself. After a lot of persuasion he let us interview him and see a little of his private life.

Spectrum: Tell us a little about yourself. Where did you grow up?

Abrahams: I grew up in Ghana.Spectrum: What led you to the

United States of America?Abrahams: I came to America

for graduate school.Spectrum: Where did you go for

graduate school? Abrahams: Boston University.Spectrum: What is your

favorite thing about working at Maimonides?

Abrahams: The students are phenomenal; they are intelligent and I like that about them.

Spectrum: Speaking of school, what was your favorite subject in school?

Abrahams: Philosophy.Spectrum: Do you have any

interesting hobbies?Abrahams: I play soccer.Spectrum: What is your first

language?Abrahams: English.Spectrum: Do you know any

other languages? Abrahams: I studied Greek and

Akan, that is another language in Ghana.

Spectrum: Where is your family?Abrahams: Some are in Ghana,

and others are in Britain.

HaMedinaLet it Snow: Isra-el Hit by Massive

SnowstormContinued from page 1of damage, it ensured the State of Israel a lot more water. The Water Authority stated that the flowing of water in streams and rivers was the highest since fifty years ago. As Dr. Amy Givati told a radio channel on Israeli radio, “Records were broken. The water level has not been like it is now for years.”

Not only did the snowstorm ensure more clean water, it also guaranteed better skiing. Mount Hermon in the Golan Heights received around three feet of snow. Although this amount of snow only lasted a short time, over 1,600 people came to the mountain the day after the snowstorm. Yaki Yizraeli said, “Skiing on the Hermon was great. Although in my head I knew I was skiing in Israel, it felt like I was skiing in Switzerland.

What most people do not know about this year’s snowstorm is that the storm uncovered an ancient statue. According to Israel’s Antiques Authority, during the snowstorm, part of a cliff came away and fell into the sea. What the collapse of some of the cliff revealed was extraordinary. A man walking on the shore of Ashkelon, a city south of Tel-Aviv, saw a two thousand year old statue from the time of the Romans. The statue is of a woman wearing a toga and sandals. The statue is around 1.2 meters tall and weighs approximately 440 pounds. The Israel Antique Authorities believe that the statue represented the goddess Aphrodite, and that it was part of an ancient bathhouse. This finding just reiterates that in Israel, an ancient artifact could be right under where you are walking.

Most importantly, the snowstorm brought families and friends closer together. Without electricity, many families shared their Shabbat meals together in the dark and cold. Neighbors would help each other shovel and prepare meals for Shabbat. Troops in armored trucks helped emergency services restore power. There are even pictures of Israeli soldiers helping Palestinian’s move the Palestinian trucks from the snow and back onto the street. A snowstorm like this can even turn enemies into friends.

Observant Israeli Thwarts Bus Bombing

February 2014/ Adar I 5774

By aderet liss ‘14

On December 22nd, a bus was blown up in Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv. Luckily, there were no casualties, thanks to an alert passenger who noticed the suspicious black backpack near the back of the bus. According to The San Diego Jewish World, the passenger saw wires and a big pot when he opened the bag. He immediately alerted the bus driver who then evacuated the entire bus. About ten minutes later, after the police had arrived, the bomb went off.

The Sheirut ha-Bitachon ha-Klali, or the Shin Bet, is an Israeli security organization designed to protect the state and expose terrorists. Since the bombing, the Shin Bet arrested four Islamic Jihad operatives from Bethlehem and ten other terrorist group members, all suspected of being behind the incident. According to JNS.org, the Islamic Jihad members admitted to organizing the attack on Israel. The four main suspects are Yusef Salamah, 22, Shehada Ta’amri, 24, Hamdi Ta’amri, 21, and Sami Harimi, 20. The Times of Israel reports that the two brothers,

Shehada and Hamdi Ta’amri, have previously been arrested and served time in Israeli jails.

As described by the Shin Bet, Salamah and the two brothers created this bomb by placing two kilograms of improvised explosives as well as nails and screws in a pressure cooker. Then they gave the bomb to Harimi, who illegally smuggled it into Israel, sneaking through a hole in the security fence separating the West Bank from Israel. A Bedouin citizen of Israel drove him to a mosque in Jaffa. The Bedouin has a history of charging money to smuggle men from the West Bank into Israel to work illegally.

After praying, Harimi boarded the Dan No. 240 bus, put down the bag containing the bomb, and got off the bus. A short while later, he detonated the bomb by calling a cell phone attached to it. Fortunately, the bus had already been evacuated, and the bomb did not achieve the intended result.

According to The Times of Israel, after Harimi was arrested and brought in for questioning, he told Shin Bet officers that the Islamic Jihad terrorist group had

planned another major attack in Tel Aviv. When Hamdi Ta’amri was also brought in for questioning, he revealed that twenty more kilograms of explosives were hidden near his home in Bethlehem.

Police and security forces found out that Hamdi Ta’amri is a Palestinian Authority police officer who had been enrolled in officers candidate school. Netanyahu later stated, “This is additional proof of the direct involvement of Palestinian Authority personnel in terrorism. The time has come for Abu Mazen (Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmud Abbas) to stop celebrating with released murderers, and to lead his people toward peace.”

Yitzchak Aharonowitz, the Minister on Internal Security, was quoted as saying, “At this point we understand that this is an attack with national motivations. I call on the public to stay vigilant and report any outstanding incidents.” Police presence has since been increased in public centers.

Developments in Iran, Egypt, and Syria May Affect IsraelBy daniel shwartz ‘14, anonymous,

Benny straChman ‘14

This month, there have been new developments in the Middle East, many of which could affect Israel. This month’s Middle East Update will focus on Iran, Egypt, and Syria.

In Iran, Mohammad Nabavian, a member of the Iranian Parliament stated on January 3rd: “We don’t aspire to obtain a nuclear bomb, but it is necessary so we can put Israel in its place.” Nabavian is a member of a small, radical Parliamentary faction. While the fear that Iran wants a nuclear bomb because of Israel is not a new one, it is still chilling to hear an Iranian official say that Iran needs one to “put Israel in its place.” Somehow, I don’t feel reassured by Nabavian and the entire Iranian government’s continued insistence that its nuclear program is solely a peaceful one.

In Egypt, a proposed new constitution has aroused much controversy. Last July, the Egyptian military, led by chief military officer General Abdul-Fattah el-Sisi, unseated then-president Mohamed Morsi, a member of

the Muslim Brotherhood, for his increasingly Islamic policies following mass protests against him. This week, Egyptians will vote on a revised constitution, one differing from the current year-old constitution with its broader protections for religious freedom (banning religious parties) and women’s rights and its expansion of the power and autonomy of the military, the police, and the judiciary.

Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi supporters demonstrated against the government and the proposed new constitution, clashing with security forces. General Sisi enjoys wide support in Egypt, yet he has not announced his bid for the Egyptian presidency, although he hinted that he sees a vote by Egyptians for the new constitution as a mandate to run for president.

This past year, current Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad was accused of using chemical weapons to kill Syrian civilians. He denied that the government was responsible for those civilian deaths. Syria has since joined the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which will require Syria

to cease all production, storage, and use of chemical weapons, as well as destroy those weapons Syria currently has stockpiled. However, Assad said that disposing of those weapons is “technologically complicated,” and could take up to a year and cost up to one billion dollars. Recently, many countries have agreed to help dismantle and dispose of the Syrian chemical weapons.

Currently, Syria is in the midst of a civil war. How does Syria affect Israel? Although Assad himself has not posed an especially dangerous threat to Israel, many Syrian military groups have. Research has shown that within the next year, Assad’s military groups will greatly decrease, while military groups associated with Al-Qaeda will increase. As Assad and his administration continue to mistreat the Syrian people, the people will become more of a threat to Israel.

Show Review

Les Intouchables Movie Review

By hadassah stanhill ‘17

The Sing-Off is a show airing on NBC that features a cappella groups competing for a recording contract. It is a part of the a cappella phenomenon that has recently been gaining momentum. The show had been put on hold for a year, but it was renewed this year, airing as a two-week special in December. The contract renewal was partially related to the success of a cappella in the entertainment industry. The movie Pitch Perfect, which came out in 2012, was a tremendous success, and according to Entertainment Weekly, the winners of the third Sing-Off season, Pentatonix, sold nearly 20,000 copies of their first album within a week of the album’s release. The Sing-Off adds to the growing world of a cappella, offering some of the best a cappella music out there.

This season, season four, there were ten groups competing. Each episode started with a group performance, and while they may not have always been perfect technically speaking, they were a great way to kick off each episode. In addition, every week, the groups were given genres from which they could pick a song to perform. The genres chosen this season were more creative than in past seasons. Some examples were party songs, generation hits, and signature songs. My favorite show was the “movie night” themed episode, in which the groups had to choose a song that was associated with a movie. An example of this was “Skyfall,” performed by Ten, a group formed of background singers. Ten’s rendition was dramatic and impressive.

The groups this year had more variety than in the past. They offered a wide range of styles, many of which I enjoyed. There was an all female group, two college groups, a Filipino group, a high school group, country singers, and a gospel group, in addition to three other groups. The high school group impressed me the most, since they were so young and so talented. The country singers and the Filipino group also offered entertainment and skill.

One of my favorite parts of the show was the judges’ table. The three judges this season were

Ben Folds, Shawn Stockman, and Jewel, the last being a new addition to the judges’ table. The judges may not be pop stars, but they certainly know about a cappella music. They were able to give constructive criticism when necessary, resulting in improved performances each episode. Another source of improvement this year was a new feature: mentoring. For the final four weeks of competition, the groups were mentored by the judges and by the host, Nick Lachey. Viewers got a chance to see what the mentors thought of the arrangements before and after each performance.

An additional new feature this season was the “Ultimate Sing-Off.” The two bottom teams each week would face off, singing the same song while trying to outdo the other and earn a pass to the next week. This new feature brought out the fighters in most groups. The most entertaining “Ultimate Sing-Off” was the one between the high school group, Vocal Rush, and Element, an all female group. Vocal Rush had so much energy, enthusiasm, and sound that Element looked like a small, timid group in comparison.

This year, the judges chose the winner, as opposed to previous seasons, when America chose the winner. This was the one new change that I did not like. I think America should have a say in who wins the competition. In addition, the judges are more likely to choose talent over entertainment, whereas ordinary Americans might do the opposite. This season, the judges’ choice was a good one, but I felt as though the other two groups in the top three, especially Vocal Rush, had no chance. They were young and lacked experience, so the judges did not want to risk a recording contract on them, even though they were a very talented group.

This season was one of the best. The Sing-Off really took off from last season, increasing in viewership and entertainment value. I would have liked to see more groups, more episodes and more singing, but I was very satisfied overall. I encourage everyone to watch some episodes to see the amazing music and talent this show offers.

By daniel smits ‘16

A light-hearted comedy that doubles as a commentary on human abilities and relationships, Les Intouchables (The Intouchables) is a movie that is both dramatic and funny. The film, directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano, is about a rich quadriplegic man, Philippe (François Cluzet), who is in search of a ‘caretaker’ to act as his legs and arms. Driss (Omar Sy) is a jobless man from the ghetto who needs to support a large family, so he applies for the job. He does not actually want to help Philippe, but rather wants to get a signature that proves he auditioned so he can get compensation from the government. Driss acts in a nonchalant manner towards Philippe, behaving as though Philippe is not wheelchair-bound, and this lands him the job.

A friendship grows out of their professional relationship, and Les Intouchables shows us their many adventures. The “sheltered” Philippe, who has to withstand a dysfunctional family and can barely leave his house, is shown the wonders of the world by Driss. He gets to try marijuana for the first time, gets to go in a high speed cop car race in a Maserati, and is exposed to funk and disco music for the first time.

Driss’s nonchalant manner and lack of pity for the crippled man is what makes their bond so

strong. For the first time, Philippe is treated as a normal man. Sometimes, he even forgets his own disabilities, and in one such instance, attempts to hand Driss a phone. At the same time, Driss gets exposed to French culture. He learns quite a bit about modern art, and he experiences truly classical music for the first time.

This movie is not a completely serious one. If you can overlook Philippe’s sad story and his disabilities, there are many comedic moments to laugh at. The mature humor is shown more in the interaction between the two main characters than in simple one-liners.

This movie is in French, but there is an American version with subtitles. Although they are not perfect translations of the true dialogue, they do it sufficient justice. There are some references that are strictly Parisian, which will be missed by most foreign viewers, but that does not subtract from the story, quality, or humor of the film.

The character development in the film is pronounced and powerful, and the characters themselves have realistic depth and emotion throughout this story. Les Intouchables is the story of a generation divided, and a beautiful tale of humanity. The best thing about it is that it is based on a true story. I give it three and a half stars.

Tom Brady has been the quarterback for the New England Patriots since 2001, and he is unquestionably the best of his position in the NFL. Brady has more Super Bowl titles than any current quarterback in the NFL and he has more Super Bowl appearances than any other current quarterback.

This season especially, Brady has been invaluable to the Patriots. He led the Patriots to a 12-4 record, which is a testament to his leadership abilities and his pure athletic talent. Brady came into the season with a sub-par offensive unit, featuring a banged-up Danny Amendola, a tentative Kenbrell Thompkins, and a big unknown in Julian Edelman. Despite having an iffy set of receivers, he still led the Patriots to victory in the opening game against Buffalo. Brady orchestrated an epic game-winning drive as the clocked ticked toward zero in the fourth quarter.

This drive set a theme that continued throughout the season, as Brady led more incredible comeback victories as the year went on. Another example of his

terrific late game heroics came in a game against the New Orleans Saints. With only 1:10 remaining in the game and no timeouts left, Brady marched the Pats down the field with a masterful drive. He finished it off with a perfect pass to Kenbrell Thompkins in the end zone, which sealed a critical victory for New England.

Once Rob Gronkowski returned to the offense and Brady established chemistry with Edelman, the Patriots offense became one of the best in the NFL. Brady put up statistics reminiscent of past seasons, and led the squad with clutch performances.

The Patriots suffered a severe blow in the middle of the season, losing Gronkowski to a torn ACL. Everyone wrote the Patriots off for the following game versus the Browns, and hopes that the Patriots might be the Super Bowl champions were dropped. But the Patriots won the game against the Browns behind another fantastic comeback led by Tom Brady.

Brady possesses leadership skills that set him apart from any other quarterback in the NFL. He cares more about winning than he does about his own personal

Joey’s Wide World of Sportsstatistics, unlike Peyton Manning. Brady carries the torch for the “never say die” attitude that characterizes this New England team. He is the ultimate pocket passer who can pick a defense apart with his arm and his

mind. Brady has proved to us that as long as he is still in the lineup, the other ten men on the field do not matter. Brady can still carry New England to a Lombardi trophy.

The Immeasurable Value of Tom Brady

Many claim that Tom Brady is overrated, but just as many strongly defend his value to the Patriots

A True Depiction of Nelson MandelaBy deBBie Baskir ‘15

I once learned that a movie sells better if it says that it is “based on a true story.” However, the fact that a movie is based on a true story does necessarily not mean that everything in the movie is completely true; in fact, most of the concepts and ideas in movies are not taken from someone’s real life. Movies also tend to end on a happy note. Normally, the movies based on true stories take the main plot of the real story, convert it into a movie, and then create an alternate ending so that the viewer leaves the theater feeling happy.

For example, Clint Eastwood’s Invictus is a movie about Nelson Mandela’s attempt to unite South Africa through the common white and black interest in rugby. The movie, however, failed to capture the negative effects of Mandela’s uniting efforts—such as the car bomb that went off outside of Ellis Park, the Johannesburg stadium

where the unifying rugby game occurred. Why did Clint Eastwood choose to leave this detail out? He, like almost all the other directors of movies that are based on true stories, did not want to include details about the true story that would hinder the overall positive feeling a movie relays.

Over December vacation, my family and I went to see another movie about Mandela, called Mandela: A Long Walk to Freedom. The title is based on Mandela’s autobiography, published in 1995. The book itself is a phenomenal page-turner, and the movie was equally exceptional.

The movie portrayed Mandela in all his glory and with all his flaws. Mandela exemplified a good leader, constantly striving to do the right thing for his people. He always put the needs of his people in front of his own needs and had a clear vision of what he wanted to accomplish. But Mandela was

Surprises in The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2By akiva JaCoBs ‘17

On September 27, 2013, Justin Timberlake released his fourth and latest studio album, The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2. It is the sequel to his third album, The 20/20 Experience, which was released six months earlier. This newest album is a disappointment. All of Timberlake’s music, both from his boy band ‘N Sync and from his solo career, is practically the same thing: songs that are full of funk and electronic sounds and are made only for dancing. Justin Timberlake has been through a lot of changes in his career, so it is disappointing that he has not really changed his style of music. True, he did come out with a couple of acoustic songs on this album, something that he has not done in the past, but overall, there is not much change in his music.

Justin Timberlake’s music is almost never musically interesting—though it is always

fun. This album is no exception. If entertainment is all that you look for in music, then you will like this album despite its negative aspects. Almost all of the tracks on this album have at most four chords, contain meaningless lyrics, and are not that special. In the time that you listen to them, nothing interesting happens. That is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does make the album boring after a while.

The one track that is unlike Timberlake’s other songs is the hidden track “Pair of Wings.” It is not listed as one of the tracks but is instead after the end of the last official track, “Not A Bad Thing.” “Pair of Wings” not only has a genius chord progression that amazes me every time it repeats, but it also has poetic lyrics. This really surprises me, since Timberlake has never written beautiful lyrics before. He has written clever lyrics, funny

lyrics, and mostly meaningless lyrics, but never really good lyrics. The other thing that surprises me about this song is that it is completely acoustic and soothing. There is no ‘drop’ beat, no drums, and no electric bass.

The reason this song is hidden at the end of the album is the same reason that musicians decided to put some songs on side ‘A’ of a record and some on side ‘B:’ to separate the fun songs from the genuinely good

songs. “Pair of Wings” is proof that Timberlake is going to change his music style in the future.

Despite all the negative qualities of this album, I still think it deserves a seven out of ten. While Timberlake did not change his music that much, it is still as good as it was in the past, if not superior. I am looking forward to hearing even better music out of Timberlake in the future.

An Overrated Strategy: The Play Action PassBy Jared shein ‘15

The play action pass is a staple of the modern football game. The play was first used by the Kansas City Chiefs in 1960, and has been fooling defenses ever since. It was created to stop defenses from “stacking the box” (putting more than the usual seven players at the line of scrimmage in order to stop the run).

A play action pass is when the quarterback throws the ball after faking a hand-off to the running back. Conventional football wisdom says that while defending a successful ground game, the safeties on the defense will begin to “cheat” or creep up to the line of scrimmage a little prematurely in order to provide early support. While helpful in clogging up space by the line of scrimmage, this leaves a gaping hole in the middle of the field for the offense to take advantage of. Any person relatively informed about football can tell you that because of this, a good run game sets up play action, and vice versa. But is that really the case?

In order to figure this out, we need to see if the best play action teams are also the best running teams. A good way to do this is by using a correlation. A correlation

is a statistical tool used to tell how similar two data sets are. A correlation of 1 suggests perfect similarity between the two lists, 0 means no correlation at all and -1 means an exact inverse correlation.

I ranked all the NFL teams from the 2012 season in terms of yards per attempt on play action, and then ranked all the teams by rushing yards per game. We would expect a relatively high correlation (greater than .7) between these two lists; however that was not the case. The correlation between the two lists was just .24, a very weak correlation.

Confused by this apparent non-connection between rushing and play action success, I decided that maybe I was using the wrong rushing statistic. After all, being a team that rushes a lot of yards does not make your team a good running one. You could just be a team that runs the ball a lot of times.

I ranked all thirty-two NFL teams in terms of their total yards per carry, rushing attempts per game and percentage of plays that are runs; however I never got any correlation results above .34. I tested other seemingly connected statistics, such as offensive line play and percentage of plays that

are play action, my logic being that defenses would be more ready for play action (and therefore better equipped to stop it) if their opponent has used it a lot in the past; however all of these stats showed very weak correlations. It turned out that the statistic with the highest correlation was normal team yards per passing attempt with a .66 correlation. After looking at the league averages of both play action yards per attempt and normal passing yards per attempt, I found that the use of play action only gains you an extra .5 yards (7.1 to 7.5).

How is this possible? Some teams run play action on a total of 43% of their plays, hoping for better passing and rushing results by confusing the defense. How could

the play action strategy not work? A possible answer is that although the play used to confuse safeties, safeties have been getting smarter and faster, and are more aware of the frequency play action is used and the consequences if they “take the bait.”

Of course I am not proposing that play action never works. While there is a very low correlation, there was still a correlation between play action success and all of the rushing stats. Play action may also work in extreme cases, such as when a team that has a phenomenal run game faces a defense that dedicates itself to stopping the run. In this case, the results might be different. However, in normal week-to-week scenarios, play action is an overrated strategy.

A True Depiction of Nelson Mandela

Page 11

A Choice That Changed Lives ForeverBy eitan Jeselsohn ‘17

On January 10, 2014, Lone Survivor was released in theaters. This movie tells the true story of four Navy Seals who entered Afghanistan to eliminate a Taliban leader. The operation, called Operation Red Wings, was initiated on June 28, 2005. The mission was compromised, and nineteen Americans died—eleven Navy Seals and eight Army Night Stalkers. This was the largest death toll for Naval Special Warfare since World War Two.

The conflict that the Seals faced was when a shepherd spotted them in the mountains of Hindu Kush. Once the Seals realized that they had captured an innocent Afghan civilian, they had to make a life or death decision: let the shepherd live to tell the tale, or kill him.

Tough decisions like these happen more often than you might think. As the director of Lone Survivor said, “These decisions have happened, and are still happening. We do not hear about them, nor do we think about these type of situations.”

The situation that the Seals faced posed a big moral dilemma. Although killing the Afghan would go against all humanitarian rights, letting him live would mean he could run and tell the Taliban about the Seals, which would jeopardize the mission. The Seals also could have

tied the Afghan to a tree and covered his mouth with a leaf, so that the Afghan would not have been able to shout for help, but someone would have come eventually. Additionally, the Afghan could have escaped the ropes and gone for help.

Despite the negative aspects of tying up the Afghan, I think it would have been the best thing to do. It would have prevented the Afghan from running to the Taliban, and at the same time the Seals would not have killed him.

It is important to keep in mind that these men had trained for many years for circumstances like these, and if you had to choose someone to be put in this situation, you would choose a Seal. In the end, the four Seals decided to let the shepherd go, and the shepherd immediately ran to the Taliban and told the organization what he saw. The Taliban sent around fifty of its members to kill the four Seals.

One Seal tried to contact the base to make a distress call, but the Taliban killed him before he was able to. The Navy sent an army helicopter to help the Seals, but as the helicopter was flying to rescue them, a rocket shot down the helicopter, killing sixteen passengers. Two hours into the fight, two more Seals were killed, leaving one remaining Seal, Marcus Luttrell, who was severely injured.

Almost a day later, local civilians spotted Luttrell and took him into their homes.

During the three days that Luttrell was in hiding, the Taliban came to the village demanding his whereabouts, but the Afghans refused to turn Luttrell in. A couple days later, one of the civilians went to a Marine outpost with a letter from Luttrell. Once the army saw the letter, they constructed a rescue mission for Luttrell. Luttrell was rescued four days after the start of

the original mission, on July 2.This movie shows how great of

an effect a single decision can have. The four Navy Seals chose not to kill one Afghan shepherd, and this led to the deaths of nineteen American soldiers. I highly recommend this thought-provoking movie.

not a perfect person. He was also known for cheating on his first wife, Evelyn Mase, and for leaving his young family and boys so that he could go to Johannesburg to continue fighting his anti-apartheid case. Mandela used his strengths to overcome his weaknesses.

The most amazing thing about this movie was how it captivated the audience from beginning to end, even though not everything in the movie was positive. The movie showed the cruelty the blacks had to face, including “necklacing,” a form of execution used against those who were suspected of telling the police where the masterminds of the anti-apartheid movement were located and where they were headed. The movie also showed Mandela’s second wife, Winnie Mandela, who

went to prison three times because of her connection to Mandela. The movie depicted Winnie’s depression and progressive madness due to her separation from her family.

The world lost an incredible figure of both integrity and humility on December 5, 2013, when Mandela passed away. Mandela was a role model for many all around the world, including me. I strongly urge anyone who wants to know more about Mandela, or who just wants to learn something new about this remarkable man, to go see Mandela: A Long Walk to Freedom. I promise you, you will not waste your time.

The world’s youngest country, South Sudan, has recently descended into chaos. For the past several weeks, South Sudan’s government has been fighting troops under former vice president Riek Machar, including militias and defected soldiers. According to President Salva Kiir, the fighting began when Machar attempted to overthrow the government, but many dispute his version of events. According to Linda Thomas-Greenfield, a U.S. State Department official, “We’ve not seen any evidence that this was a coup attempt, but it certainly was the result of a huge political rift between Riek Machar and the president.” BBC reports that some suspect minor fighting among soldiers exasperated an already tense political situation and led to the current conflict.

However the conflict began, it is tearing the fragile country apart. Nhial Majak Nhial, mayor of the embattled city of Bor, said that the rebels committed numerous human rights violations while in control

of the city. “They have taken all the cows, they have killed all the people, all the people who they’ve found, they’ve killed them,” he said. “They’ve even killed my own aunt.” Government forces

recently recaptured the town, but Nhial said that the town is still in urgent need of humanitarian aid, as much of the food was destroyed. According to CNN, the conflict has increasingly featured

ethnic violence, and massacres are becoming commonplace. The U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights, Ivan Simonovic, said, “Mass atrocities have been committed by both sides. During

my visit, I have received reports of mass killings, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, sexual violence, the widespread destruction of property, and the use of children in

the conflict.” He said that around 70,000 people were seeking refuge in U.N. camps. According to the U.N., over 400,000 people have been displaced by the conflict, with many fleeing to surrounding countries

like Uganda. Although a preliminary U.N. report said that around 1,000 people were killed, more recent estimates from the International Crisis Group and others have raised that figure to 10,000. The U.N. has pledged to deploy more peacekeepers to South Sudan, but it will likely take several weeks before the troops reach the crisis area, the New York Times reports.

The conflict has increasingly taken on international proportions. Uganda, South Sudan’s ally, has contributed troops to the country’s army, for example. South Sudan has also begun cooperating with Sudan. According to BBC, the two countries are locked in a mutual relationship over oil production. Sudan is facing a

rising economic crisis, and needs the income from oil that the rebels threaten to cut off. In addition, many of the rebel groups fighting in South Sudan are connected to rebels in the north, so Sudan is unlikely to

Conflict and Chaos in South Sudan

By December 1st, 2013, businesses in Brookline were expected to completely phase out their plastic shopping bags and containers, the Boston Globe reported. Some businesses are having difficulty with this transition, while others are excited to create containers and bags that

fit this new standard. Brookline is certainly not the first, and likely not the last place to initiate the ban on non-biodegradable plastic shopping bags. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, many cities in the United States, as well as all over the world, have made efforts to ban or place fees or taxes on these environmentally

unfriendly bags. Though these shopping bags are harmful to the environment, many people are reluctant to wipe them away from their lives. Many people reuse the bags. They use them for garbage, lunches, or to carry other items. Other people are discouraged at the prospect of saving the environment, feeling as though restricting the use of plastic bags in one city will not make a difference. There are various ways to keep all these groups happy, while still making the country, if not the world, cleaner.

Plastic shopping bags were invented in the 1960s in order to save trees and make store-bought items easier to carry. But unlike paper, it is much more difficult to recycle plastic. For years, the country of Rwanda has had a ban on these plastic bags. According to howstuffworks.com, Rwanda is now one of the cleanest countries in the world. Even if a country is not clean, an individual city can

still be clean on its own. Many places in the world have initiated laws requiring stores to initiate plastic shopping bag recycling programs. This allows customers to use plastic bags without throwing them away. With these regulations in place, companies do not need to manufacture as many plastic bags, causing fewer plastic bags to clutter the environment. No matter what approach a city is taking, this recycling program is a savvy idea.

Other locales have put fees or taxes on plastic bags. In many countries that have taken this approach, such as Ireland, the use of plastic shopping bags decreased by approximately ninety percent in the first few months, the New York Times reports. This seems to be the best compromise, a fair yet environmentally friendly approach. There is fifty years worth of plastic waste littering our planet. If plastic bag usage decreased by ninety-five percent, plastic litter on the planet

First Night Boston 2014and cheeks bearing a painted “2014.”

There were also many magicians, dancers, jugglers, puppeteers, comedians, and clowns at every corner. The dance performances included all styles of dance, including traditional Chinese dances. An improvisation group put on several shows in which they invited volunteers to help them create funny improvised skits. Another show included a stunt artist, who exhibited his talent and tricks on a giant trampoline while wearing skis, using a snowboard, or playing catch.

The streets of Boston are the perfect place to host a New Years Eve parade. This year’s procession was incredible, with great music, artistic creations, and dancers. The parade ornaments were mostly handmade creatures that told the stories of many

different cultures. They were creepy, yet extremely creative. In addition to the multiple artistic creations, our everyday heroes made an appearance. Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars drove across the city during the parade, giving a great opportunity for the citizens of Boston to thank those who save lives year round.

Throughout the year, we spend much of our time near Boston—smelling, hearing, tasting, thinking, being creative, and enjoying ourselves. At the end of the year, Boston ties all of the different people together in one celebration. First Night Boston was a great ending to the old year, but more importantly, a great start to the new year.

The Cheerful Security Guard

Spectrum: What did you do before this?

Abrahams: I’m interested in traveling. I traveled a lot. I have been to almost all the states in America. I have not been to Utah and Puerto Rico. I used to belong to a group called American Academy of Religions. Every year they go to different states and present papers and research papers in all disciplines. We discuss the ideas. It is incredible. We are exposing

our religion to one another. It is more academic than religious.

Spectrum: Do you have anything else you would like to say?

Abrahams: The community is full with young kids so we have to make it fun. I like people. I like people and to protect them [sic] and children and give them a sense of protection. It is very important.

Fireworks at First Night Boston

Conflict in South Sudansupport them.

The predominantly Christian and animist South Sudan was formed after over five decades of conflict with the Muslim north. In a referendum in 2011, almost 99% of the population voted to split from the rest of Sudan. Time reports that much of the conflict stemmed from attempts to Islamicize the south. According to CNN, Britain, which administered the country until the 1950’s, kept the two halves of the country largely separate. But when Britain left, the south rebelled against northern control of the government, fighting until a peace treaty was agreed upon in 1972. War returned only a decade later though, after the president tried to impose Islamic law on non-Muslims. The current president of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, came to power after a coup in 1989, and has long supported radical Islamists and terrorists. In 2003, a largely unrelated conflict erupted in the Darfur region between al-Bashir’s government and non-Arab Muslims,

leading to widespread massacres and abuses. The International Criminal Court indicted al-Bashir in 2009 for his role in the conflict.

Efforts are in progress to end the current conflict in South Sudan, but they do not appear very likely to succeed soon. Although negotiations are underway in Ethiopia, the rebels sent a team of negotiators that according to BBC is largely seen as inept. The rebels have demanded the release of eleven political prisoners held by the government, and said that a ceasefire would be signed upon their release. The U.S. and the U.N. Security Council have both urged President Kiir to release the prisoners, but Kiir has refused, saying that they cannot be freed without a trial. The conflict does not seem to be ending soon, and has greatly hurt South Sudan’s efforts to build a functional democracy. As one South Sudanese local said, “This country’s progress has been set back by years—maybe by a generation.”

Brookline Bans Plastic Bags

on the planet would increase at only one twentieth of previous levels. This means that the amount of litter would not double for about one thousand years. Additionally, with a fee, customers would use the number of plastic bags they need, and no more. In this scenario, people would feel less inclined to pay for bags they do not really need. People would pay for a few bags to carry their heaviest purchases, or to use as backup bags. The rest of the customer’s goods could easily be held in paper bags. Another option similar to placing fees on plastic bags is to sell the bags in small amounts. Though reusable cloth bags are always the best option, some customers are not satisfied with that suggestion. These people could buy pocket sized plastic bags. The benefit of people buying the packages of bags is that they would be considered more valuable, and customers would be less likely to be throw them away. People would buy them for reuse.

Some people do not like the prospect of using paper bags. They like using plastic simply because it is easier. Places that ban plastic bags could start, and some have started, offering compostable plastic bags. The New York

Times reports that these shopping bags would cost 8 to 10 cents, only a few cents more than paper bags. Though this is not yet possible for every city, it is likely that the same people who would pay for plastic shopping bags would pay for compostable shopping bags. They could be offered in addition to paper shopping bags, and customers would buy them as needed. Additionally, once these bags are more popular, their prices are likely to go down.

Opposition to Brookline’s ban of plastic bags is not uncommon. Plastic shopping bags are very useful at times, but at other times they are unnecessary. The ban in Brookline brings us one step closer to saving the planet. Many places in the world are making this effort. Among them are some of the world’s largest super powers, including China, England, and the United States. If this progresses, the world should be well on its way to cleanliness within several years. Whether cities place bans or fees on plastic bags, or switch to the compostable plastic bags, the restriction of plastic shopping bags is a great way to improve our environment and the Earth as a whole.

The Culinary CornerBy talia Bessler ’15

I first tasted this dish at another Shabbat table, and my mother asked the hostess for her recipe. The recipe comes from the well-known cookbook Kosher By Design by Susie Fishbein. These pota-toes are incredibly creamy, with a nice crispy top. This dish can be eaten as a side or even as a meal on its own, since it is very filling.

Ingredients:

6 Tbsp margarine1/2 cup flour2 large onions, chopped1/2 cup mayonnaise1/2 tsp. salt28 ounces chicken stock8-10 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch slicesFreshly ground black pepperPaprika

Directions:1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 glass or ce-

ramic baking dish with nonstick spray.2. In a large pot, melt margarine over medium high heat. Add

the flour, stirring constantly. Add the mayonnaise, salt and chicken stock. Stir until smooth. Add in chopped onions and cook until

sauce thickens.3. With a ladle, spread a layer of sauce into the bottom of the

prepared pan. Place a layer of overlapping potatoes on top and sprinkle with pepper. Repeat, alternating with layers of potatoes and sauce. There should be a total of 3 sauce layers and two potato layers, with sauce being the last layer on top.

4. Sprinkle the top layer with pepper and paprika. Bake uncov-ered for 1 1/2 hours or until golden brown.

In theater, they say that the show

must go on. The residents of Valparaiso

felt as though they were actors in a cruel,

sadistic performance, and so for them,

too, the show went on. The sun rose the

next morning and each person awoke and

prepared for the day. As the sun climbed

higher in the sky, the downtown area of

the city filled with people. They were

tired and afraid, but they went to work.

They did not speak with the same en-

thusiasm as they had the day before, but

they greeted each other. They walked in

hurt footsteps, as if each of them had been

shot, but they walked. Time doesn’t stop

on a stage, and it didn’t stop for them.

As the busy streets quieted, two teen-

agers walked together. The boy, tall and

strapping, had an air of uncertainty about

him. The girl, slight and bewitching,

looked confident. They walked side by

side, but they neither looked at each other

nor spoke to one another. It was not until

they reached the enormous colonial na-

val headquarters building, a block away

from their destination, that they stopped.

The boy looked up at the intricate

white latticework, as delicate as a spi-

look at the girl, her eyes glaring

at him from under dark lashes.

“Miguel, we’ve discussed this!

The girl said, the annoyance and

urgency in her voice unmasked.

“You’ve told me why you need

this job! Tell me the story again.”

“I just think we should wait a

while, Cassandra. I’ll come back in

a week or so.” Miguel replied, still

staring at the blue building, his eyes

drifting to the door where two men

stood guard. They each held a rifle.

Cassandra shook her head. “Tell

me the story.”

The boy closed his eyes. He still

saw the officers’ large guns resting

on their shoulders. He sighed and

opened his heavy eyes. “Can we sit?”

Miguel led his friend to a nearby

bench. “You want the whole story?”

Cassandra nodded. “Remind

yourself why you wanted this.”

Miguel exhaled slowly and then

began to speak. “About a week be-

fore my mother’s death, I overheard

her speak to my father. They were in

the kitchen; it was past my bedtime.

I was coming down to tell them I

couldn’t sleep, but I stopped on the

stairs. I didn’t want to interrupt. My

mom was upset. At first I couldn’t

hear what she was saying; she was

whispering frantically. But I listened

closely, and eventually I heard.

“She told my dad that she had re-

ceived a letter. I don’t know what it

said; I don’t think my father ever did

either. She just said it was threaten-

ing, and that we had to move soon.

She was going to withdraw the

money. My dad refused. He said that

he couldn’t leave; he had his own

business and had finally established

himself as a reliable storekeeper.”

“Then he wanted to see the let-

ter. My mom shook her head, say-

ing that she had sent it back to the

post office without a return address.

Just then, my parents started walk-

ing toward the stairs, so I had to

rush up to bed before they saw me.

That was the last thing I heard.”

Miguel now stared at the Chil-

ean flag hanging out a window.

The wind rustled through it, mak-

ing the red, white, and blue dance

wildly against the blue building.

“And so why do you want the

job at the post office?” Cassandra

prompted.

“I remember reading somewhere

that all letters like that are archived

in the office. I want to find it. I want

to know who should be in jail instead

of my father for killing my mother.”

1. Use a steamer to steam the potatoes on high heat for 15-17 minutes. They should be tender

in about twenty minutes. Once you are able to easily insert a fork, remove the potatoes from

the steamer and let them cool for at least ten minutes.

2. Peel the potato skins. Then mash the potatoes in a large mixing bowl (I recommend using a

tuna mixer for this).

3. Combine the other ingredients. Beat the sugar, margarine, soymilk, egg, pineapple and co-

conut, vanilla, and spices in with the potatoes. Mix VERY well. If you don’t, you will be sorry.

Take my word for it.

4. Pour into a greased pan and, if you’d like, drizzle the top with honey. Bake for 45 minutes at

350oF.

5. Serve warm or cool. Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Food Fans!This month, every newspaper I’ve seen (thus far) has published many turkey recipes in prepa-

ration for Turkey Day. But as everyone knows, Thanksgiving meals are never complete with-

out pie. Below is one of my favorite pie recipes. I like it because it is versatile – it can be used

for the Thanksgiving main course, desert, or for any Shabbat meal. Plus, it will not fail you: it

will come out of the oven with the same consistency each time—I promise. But most impor-

tantly, this pie has a wonderful tang which will keep your guests wondering, “Where on earth

did that flavor come from?” Luckily, you’ll know that it came from pineapple and coconut!

for the Thanksgiving main course, desert, or for any Shabbat meal. Plus, it will not fail you: it

will come out of the oven with the same consistency each time—I promise. But most impor-

tantly, this pie has a wonderful tang which will keep your guests wondering, “Where on earth

did that flavor come from?” Luckily, you’ll know that it came from pineapple and coconut!
