Morey Altman: January 2011

http://moreyaltman.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Monday, January 10, 2011. Is it just me, or is this ongoing EU. Of Israel's sovereign rights looking increasingly like the film Minority Report? As I've written before. Update 12/01/2011: I don't have time to go through the EU statement and detail its historical and legalistic errors, but fortunately, Yisrael Medad has done a good job on his blog here.

Morey Altman: March 2011

http://moreyaltman.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 17, 2011. The Flame in the Ashes. I presented this dvar Torah at Congregation Shaarey Tefilah in Vancouver few years ago:. This week we read Parsha Tzav. This parsha is in many ways a continuation of Vayyikra. Which we read last week; and these parshot plus the next two form a kind of "Everything you Always wanted to know about sacrifices but were afraid to ask." And I mean everything! Comes from the same root as MITZVAH, which means commandment. Opens with God's instructions to Aaron and...

Thursday, November 17, 2011. They Who Dig Pits. The following article was written for The Jerusalem Report a few months ago but not published.]. According to the official press release from Hebrew University, Mazar asserts that the 10th c. BCE structure she has uncovered is part of "an inner gatehouse for access into the royal quarter of the city,a royal structure adjacent to the gatehouse, and a corner tower that overlooks a substantial section of the adjacent Kidron valley.".

Morey Altman: September 2014

http://moreyaltman.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Thursday, September 18, 2014. The Challenge of a Hopeful Future. It’s Such a Beautiful Day by Lee Vladislavsky – Tel Aviv, Israel. Forty years later and I can still remember how profoundly I was affected by the Isaac Asimov short story, “ It’s Such a Beautiful Day. A young boy, a few hundred years in the future, is sent to a psychiatrist because he won’t use a “Door,” a ubiquitous teleportation. Both of which survived the debates and have transformed the human experience. Interestingly, modern mainstream...

Morey Altman: October 2013

http://moreyaltman.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Shares her 'two cents' on the issue, saying Cyrus and O'Connor are "both right, but only half right.". Wades conciliatory contention is interesting, but I think ultimately wrong. Her entire thesis hinges on one line, one postulation: "Is Miley Cyrus a pawn of industry patriarchs? There's been a sense that feminism, as a movement and ideology, has taken (at least) two steps backward the past few years; whether true or not, this is an issue worth open discussion. I suppose we...

Morey Altman: Magic Carpet Ride

http://moreyaltman.blogspot.com/2013/02/magic-carpet-ride.html

Thursday, February 28, 2013. Although most Israeli sources say “Operation Magic Carpet” began in June 1949, in fact, the first phase began during the early months of 1948 War of Independence. The plan was launched by the Jewish Distribution Committee (“The Joint”), which chartered aircraft to rescue 4500 Jews from Yemen’s capital Aden, the site of a bloody pogrom. In which 82 Jews were murdered and synagogues, homes and shops destroyed. In cidentally, one of the most active airlines during this phase was.

Morey Altman: We Can Be Heroes

http://moreyaltman.blogspot.com/2013/04/we-can-be-heroes.html

Sunday, April 07, 2013. We Can Be Heroes. Time and again, as I've studied various aspects of the Holocaust and its callous and most permanent effects on my family in Eastern Europe, I've been struck by small astonishing stories of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Who would risk the welfare of their own family for nameless children? Heroes come in many forms. I recently stumbled on a book about one such story. "Life in a Jar: The Irena Sendler Project". Tells the story of Polish gentile Ire...

Morey Altman: June 2013

http://moreyaltman.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 24, 2013. The new Star Trek film wasn't great but it did at least include a very brief cameo of one of my favourite people: Leonard Nimoy. Although greatly admired as an actor and director, the role of his Jewish background in his work isn't always appreciated. In the book “ Stars of David. As an adult, he’s continued to explore his Judaism and the Jewish-American experience. After a discussion with a rabbi cousin of his on the feminine presence of G-d, he decided to explore the su...8221;, ...
