Individuals of Middle Eastern descent have recently approched members of our community, and posed questions about locations where Jews congregate. It behooves us all to be vigilant and aware of our surroundings. Please exercise care with your children. The Chicago Police Department, in consultation with Alderman Silverstein and community Rabbonim, will have police cars stationed on Devon (Bnei Reuven), California (mostly near KINS) and Touhy (JCC) the first 2 days of Yom Tov. Additional police cars will be patrolling our neighborhood. PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT A POLICE OFFICER SHOULD YOU ENCOUNTER A SUSPICIOUS INDIVIDUAL OR ACTIVITY. IF IT IS AN EIS SAKANA, PLEASE DIAL 911 (if possible, with a shinuy). Our thanks to Alderman Silverstein and Commander Roussell for their prompt response to this situation, and ensuring an increased police presence in our neighborhood.

YWN Accident Victim Flown to Eretz Yisrael from the Ukraine

A number of mispallalim heading to the tziyun of the Bal Shem Tov were involved in an accident on erev Yom Kippur. The driver, a resident of Netanya, 26, sustained a head injury and listed in serious condition. A Hatzalah Ukraine ambulance under the command of Rav Hillel Cohen of Kiev responded. Chadrei Chareidim reports Nosson Goldman headed the medical team that evacuated the injured man to an Uman hospital. Apparently, due to that hospital’s lack of trauma capabilities the victim was escorted by a paramedic team which included Azriel Schnitzer to the Kiev Public Hospital. The victim was placed in an ICU with head, back, pelvic and others injures. After consulting with medical professionals it was decided to move the victim to a hospital in Eretz Yisrael now that his condition is listed as moderate-to-serious. A private aerial ambulance service was contracted and אלעד בן יהודית was flown to Ben-Gurion International Airport and then transported to Tel Hashomer Hospital. The tzibur is asked to be mispallel for אלעד בן יהודית b’soch shar cholei Yisroel. (YWN – Israel Desk, Jerusalem)

YWN V’Ani Tefillah Foundation Announces Yom Kippur Initiative

The V’Ani Tefillah Foundation is distributing a Yom Kippur Worldwide Initiative Flyer regarding a great opportunity to acquire additional zechusim on Yom Kippur itself– incomparable zechusim on the Holiest Day of the Year–when we need them most. Please download PDFs (and jpg) attached and post the flyer on your shul bulletin board, print and pass out the flyer, email and distribute to your lists. To receive a downloadable flyer (PDF, JPG ) by email, please email the Vani Tefillah Foundation at info@prayingwithfire.org. click here to download it The trial was just about over. Then, at the last moment, a surprise witness took the stand. It was the defendant’s father. “Please, your honor, I beg you, have compassion on my son. Forgive him and let him begin again,” the father wept. His voice was choked with sobs as he gazed upon the frightened, remorseful face of his son. He pleaded with such emotion that his own life force began to recede like an outgoing tide, leaving him limp and broken-hearted. Finally, the father could cry no more. He looked up at the judge expectantly, hoping to see some glimmer of compassion. “I have acquitted him as you have asked,” the judge pronounced. It is this great gift – the chance for atonement and new beginnings – that Moshe Rabbeinu achieved for the People of Israel on the world’s first Yom Kippur. Less than six weeks after having received the Torah, the Jewish people had built themselves a Golden Calf. Hashem was prepared to erase the Jewish people from His Torah and begin anew, with Moshe as the new progenitor. Moshe pleaded for his people with all his strength, stating that if they would not be forgiven, his name, too, should be erased. At last, G-d forgave Israel, with the words “Solachti kidevorecha – I forgive, according to your words.” Moshe Rabbeinu ascended again to receive the second Tablets of the Law. The day he came down was the Tenth of Tishrei – Yom Kippur– and G-d resolved that on this day every year, He would turn His ear to pleas, remorse and change of heart. Hashem’s longed-for words, “Solachti k’devorecha,” became a centerpiece of the Yom Kippur prayer. Clearing the path of all obstacles between Himself and the Jewish people, Hashem even forbids the Satan from prosecuting on that day. This tremendous gift obliges each person to respond in kind, as Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach1 explains: “One must be very careful not to waste even one moment, Heaven forbid, from this [awesome] day. As the Gemara2 teaches, “Every moment of Yom Kippur affords atonement.” Because of the infinite value of each moment of the day, many people follow the custom of refraining from unnecessary talk on Yom Kippur. Even those who cannot exercise that restraint for the entire day can reap the benefits of a set period i.e. fifteen minutes or a half-hour. Each undistracted moment adds to the precious treasure of atonement one takes away from this 25-hour window of opportunity. Yom Kippur is a day in which we are invited to walk the path toward Hashem that was ploughed by Moshe Rabbeinu’s excruciating labor of the heart. But it is only when we awaken to the full grandeur of this day and purify ourselves to befit our proximity to Hashem that Yom Kippur’s life-giving gift of atonement is firmly within our grasp. “One must be very careful not to waste even one moment, Heaven forbid, from this [awesome] day.” (R. Shlomo Zalman Auerbach) PLEASE JOIN THE YOM KIPPUR 5768 INITIATIVE: Prior to or on Yom Kippur, dedicate 15 to 30 minutes (more, if possible) of free time on Yom Kippur during which you will abstain from unnecessary speech or anything that is not within the spirit and purpose of the holy Yom Kippur day. “I hereby accept upon myself, bli neder (without a vow), to abstain from unnecessary speech or anything which is not within the spirit and purpose of the holy Yom Kippur day, between _____:_____ and _____:_____.” 1. Halichos Shlomo on Moadim, Tishrei-Adar, Chapter 4, Footnote 7, Page 52 2. Kereisos 18b This material is an excerpt from Praying With Fire 2, which was released in Elul, 5768 – Sept. 2008.

[chicago-aneinu] OU, RCA Call Upon Shuls to Daven On Yom Kippur for End to Iranian Threat

The Orthodox Union (OU) and the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) today called upon all congregations to dedicate a specific moment during their services on the upcoming holy day of Yom Kippur to daven for an end to the threat of a nuclear armed Iran. The OU and RCA leadership issued the following statement: “On Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, Jews worldwide spend the day in fasting, prayer and repentance. Yom Kippur is not a day for politics. But Yom Kippur 5773 is different. On this Yom Kippur - the world faces an evil regime whose leaders have publicly committed themselves to destroying the State of Israel and to harming Jews worldwide; in addition, the Iranians are a threat to the global community. On this Yom Kippur - the leader of that evil regime will address the United Nations General Assembly and again preach his hatred; On this Yom Kippur - the words found in the High Holiday prayer book, “God determines which nations shall face war and which shall enjoy peace,” prompt us to contemplate with anxiety the fate of the State of Israel and her people, of Jews throughout the world and, indeed, of civilization as a whole. The threat is dire and demands our attention on our holiest day. Therefore, we call upon all congregations to dedicate a specific moment during their services on the upcoming holy day of Yom Kippur to pray for an end to the threat of a nuclear armed Iran. On Yom Kippur, may Israel and its people be sealed in the Book of Life for a year of life and peace.”

[chicago-aneinu] Warning Regarding Arsenic Levels in Rice

http://gma.yahoo.com/arsenic-rice-report-finds-worrisome-levels-050450243--abc-news-health.html Arsenic in Rice: New Report Finds 'Worrisome Levels' By SERENA MARSHALL | Good Morning America – Wed, Sep 19, 2012 1:04 AM EDT A major consumer magazine is warning Americans to limit how much rice they eat because of concerns over arsenic. According to a sobering report released to "Good Morning America" by Consumer Reports magazine this morning, rice eaten just once a day can drive arsenic levels in the human body up 44 percent. Rice eaten twice a day can lead to a 70 percent increase in arsenic. "We think that consumers ought to take steps to moderate their consumption," said Urvashi Rangan, director of consumer safety and sustainability at Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports tested many forms of rice for arsenic, from cereal for babies and adults, to brown and white whole grain, pasta and drinks. More than 60 rice and rice products were tested overall, including name brands. Many contained what the magazine calls "worrisome levels of arsenic"— some products had up to five times higher levels than the arsenic found in oatmeal and one and a half times more than EPA's legal standard for drinking water. The researchers also found geographical distinctions in arsenic levels, with white rice grown in Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Texas, containing higher levels than rice samples from other parts of the country. Those four states account for 76 percent of domestic rice produced. Inorganic arsenic is considered a level one carcinogen, linked to lung and bladder cancer. Today, the FDA will announce it has concerns about rice and arsenic and is studying the issue, but in the meantime recommends a varied diet. Consumer Reports calls for more. "Foods really shouldn't be any different and as we look at the levels we're finding in these products there needs to be a standard set for these foods already," Rangan said. "We called for that on apple juice in January, we're calling for that again in rice products today" referring to a January investigation of data released by the FDA of arsenic levels in apple and grape juice. Surprisingly, when it comes to arsenic the less nutritional white rice is better than brown. The carcinogen is most prevalent in the outer layers of the grain and white rice is polished removing some of those layers. Consumer Reports suggests rice eaters limit themselves to one serving a day, especially for babies. Rinsing and then boiling rice in a 6 to 1 water ratio removes about 30 percent of its arsenic. They also caution that children under the age of 5 should not be given rice drinks as part of their daily diet. "We're not saying never do that," Michael Hansen, senior scientist on the Consumer Reports study said. "We're saying it should be very infrequent." Although no products were named in the report, Nestle, the parent company of Gerber, said in an unsolicited statement to ABC News "all Gerber products are safe to consume, including Gerber rice cereal and Gerber SmartNourish organic brown rice cereal." They added that although they monitor arsenic levels, consumer concern led them to "exclusively use California rice in the production of our rice-containing infant nutrition products… because California rice has the lowest naturally occurring arsenic levels for rice grown in the United States." The USA rice federation does not dispute the findings, but says the results are overblown since there is no documented evidence of actual illness linked to rice. "These are very, very low levels," Dr James R. Coughlin, president and founder of Coughlin & Associates, an independent toxicology consulting company for the USA Rice Federation, said. "Rice is a safe and nutritious food and in fact people who consume rice more frequently in their diets are actually healthier than other Americans." Rice contains more arsenic than other grains experts say, because it is grown while submerged in water. Arsenic does appear naturally in the earth, but Consumer Report says levels have been increased by use of arsenic-laced fertilizer. Consumer Reports scientists explain that arsenic is fed to chickens, turkey, and pigs, and their manure is used as fertilizer for rice and other crops. "All of those uses introduce arsenic into our environment, into our food supply, and we essentially are doing a lot of things to ourselves that deliberately introduce arsenic into food supply," Rangan said. The National Chicken Council, however, released a statement following this morning's broadcast "strongly condemning these insinuations." "Chickens in the United States produced for meat are not given arsenic as an additive in chicken feed," said Tom Super, NCC vice president of communications. "Some flocks used to be given feed that contained a product called Roxarsone, which included safe levels of organic arsenic. Even though the science shows that such low levels of arsenic do not harm chickens or the people eating them, this product was removed from the market last year, it is no longer manufactured and it is no longer used in raising chickens in the United States. No other products containing any amount of arsenic are used in chicken production." In a response provided to ABC News, Consumer Reports said: "There are around 100 arsenic-containing drug formulations currently approved for use in healthy chickens to promote growth, improve pigmentation, and prevent disease, including Roxarsone, which Pfizer voluntarily and temporarily suspended sales of in July of 2011. There are also other arsenic containing drugs approved for use in food animal production including Nitrasone which is currently on Pfizer’s website. If the Chicken industry’s current stance is that arsenic containing drugs are not required to grow chickens for meat, then they should be more than willing to support our position on a complete ban on the use of arsenical drugs in poultry production." This report follows a February Dartmouth report that found organic products containing brown rice syrup could have high arsenic levels. --

[chicago-aneinu] Missing Jewish Teen Found Alive In The Bronx

Thursday September 20, 2012 3:50 PM Caroline Starkman, the missing 18-year-old Jewih girl from Engelwood, New Jersey, who disappeared from Coney Island, Brooklyn, last month, has been found alive. She will soon be reunited with her family, sources say. Rabbi Shmuel Goldin, the family’s rov at Congregation Ahavas Torah of Englewood, stated, “We are gratified beyond measure to inform the community that Caroline Starkman has been found without serious injury. The family firmly believes that the prayers and support of the entire community have enabled them to reach this moment and they express their deepest gratitude.” In the immediate days to come, the family has asked for privacy to enable them to chart the best course for Caroline. “They will share developments with the community in the future,” said Rabbi Goldin. “Caroline’s family deeply thanks all of you once again for your support and tefillot.” Starkman was a student at Touro College. After she went missing, her parents hired a private detective to assist the NYPD in searching for her. {Noam Amdurski-Matzav.com Newscenter} --

In another video appeal in May, he asked US President Barack Obama to accept the demands of his kidnappers for an end to air strikes and the release of Islamists held in the United States. Weinstein, who was shown wearing a white T-shirt, said Obama had shown "no interest" in his case. "Therefore, as a Jew, I am appealing to you, Prime Minister Netanyahu, the head of the Jewish State of Israel, as one Jew to another, to please intervene on my behalf, to work with the mujahedeen and to accept their demands," he said.

JI AND JMR “Shiviti” A new single from Avrohom Finkelstein featuring the soul stirring vocals of SHAULI

Every once in a while you come across a song that touches something deep down inside of you. It’s not just about the great arrangements, music or vocals, but also the overall message of the lyrics and melody. “Shiviti” is one of these songs. This song was composed by up and coming songwriter/singer Avrohom Finkelstein, who also writes for the band Prophets n’ Blues, most recently their Aural Law EP. Avrohom is a known guitarist who lives in Baltimore, MD. Two years ago when Avrohom was introduced to the music of Shauli, he immediately fell in love with Shauli’s unique voice and song writing style.

OU TORAH How to Tell When You Are Not in Danger(Berachos Daf 32) By Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb

(PLEASE LEARN THIS FOR THE REFUA SHELAMA OF HaGaon HaRav Yitzchok Zilberstein Shlita-Yitzchok ben Rochel RAV CHAIM KANIEVSKY-Rav Shmaryahu Yosef Chaim ben Pesha Miriam,Rav Shteinman - Aaron Yehuda Leib ben Gitel Feiga, Rav Weiss - Yitzchak Tuvia ben Rikal, Rav Yosef - Yaakov Chai ben Margalit Harav Shlomo Leib Ben Miriam - HaRav Shlomo Brevda Harav Yeshaya Yaakov Ben Raizel - HaRav Yeshaya Yaakov Portugal Harav Meshulem Fish Ben Tziril - The Toshe Rebbe Rav Yerachmiel Shlomo Hakohen ben Raizel. -Rav Yerachmiel Shlomo Rothenberg, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva of Mountaindale Rav Shaul ben Pasha-Gavaad Zurich, Switzerland and rav of Beis Medrash Agudas Achim for a refuah shleima b’soch kol cholei am Yisrael.)(AND L"N RAV YOSEF SHALOM BEN RAV AVRAHAM(RAV ELYASHIV ZT"L)The Gemara on daf 32b relates a story which many find difficult. The story is in relationship to the discussion about where it is and where it is not permissible to interrupt one's prayers. This is the outline of the story: There was once a pious man who was praying while traveling along a path when an officer (hegmon) came along and greeted him (literally, gave him shalom). The man did not respond to the greeting, but continued to pray without interruption. As he concluded his prayers, the officer said to him: "You endangered yourself. I could have killed you." The pious man asked him to wait until he was completely finished with his prayers, and then he explained to the officer that in his prayers, he was standing before the King of kings, and certainly the officer himself would not interrupt his dialogue with a king if someone interrupted the dialogue with a greeting. The question which troubles many meforshim is this: How could the man have taken such a risk and endangered his life? Surely this was a situation of pikuach nefesh, which justified interrupting his prayers.
