Dignity & Defiance - The Life of the Ghetto: People and Organizations - Dignity & Defiance

Dignity & Defiance - The Life of the Ghetto: People and Organizations - Dignity & Defiance: "Zemba wrote a monograph on martyrdom which he completed on the day his wife was murdered in the Ghetto. He dedicated it to her.
Zemba was one of the last rabbis to remain in the Ghetto after the mass deportations of 1942. At a meeting of the leaders on January 14, 1943, he gave rabbinic approval for the Uprising. Refusing two separate opportunities to escape from the Ghetto, Zemba was shot by the Germans a few days after the revolt began."

Holocaust Timeline: Resistance

Holocaust Timeline: Resistance: "With the influx of Jews into the partisan movement, family camps evolved, especially in Belorussia. These camps ranged from a few families to several hundreds of families. The families took refuge in forests primarily in an effort to save their lives, and secondarily to fight the enemy.

In western Europe, large scale guerrilla movement was impossible due to the more open topography. However, there were acts of organized armed resistance."

Experiencing Teen Drama Overload? Blame Biology : NPR

Experiencing Teen Drama Overload? Blame Biology : NPR: "The easiest times to be in sync with teens are when they're in bliss, soaring because they've scored a point in a game, aced a test, or feel on top of the world on a sunny day. During these good times, we capitalize on the natural camaraderie. On the opposite end of the spectrum are the hellish moments, when teens are upset or have had a disastrous day."

RIP, Aaron Swartz - Boing Boing

RIP, Aaron Swartz - Boing Boing: "This morning, a lot of people are speculating that Aaron killed himself because he was worried about doing time. That might be so. Imprisonment is one of my most visceral terrors, and it's at least credible that fear of losing his liberty, of being subjected to violence (and perhaps sexual violence) in prison, was what drove Aaron to take this step.

But Aaron was also a person who'd had problems with depression for many years. He'd written about the subject publicly, and talked about it with his friends."

Married? Still Single? Divorced? This is for You! | JewishPress

Married? Still Single? Divorced? This is for You! | JewishPress: " The holy Kabbalist, the Arizal, teaches that anger is the worst of all the bad character traits. He explains that while every bad character trait and transgression blemish a part of one’s spiritual blueprint, and even physical anatomy, the blemish can be repaired by sincere tshuva and atonement. In contrast, when a person becomes angry, his Divine Soul flees from him, and he receives a lesser animal soul in its place. Ever notice how people look like beasts when they get angry? Their human character seems to leave their faces, and they look like wild animals. "

This Day ... In Jewish History: This Day, August 6, In Jewish History

This Day ... In Jewish History: This Day, August 6, In Jewish History: "1825: Bolivia gains its independence from Spain. During the colonial period, the Jewish presence would have been made up of Marranos or Conversos some of whom worked in the silver mines and helped establish the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Evidence of Jewish presence may be seen in reports of settlers following “Jewish customs” including “lighting candles on Friday nights and sitting on the ground in mourning when a close relative dies.” A truly recognizable Jewish community appeared in the country in the early 1900’s with the arrival of Russian Jews.

This Day ... In Jewish History: This Day, August 6, In Jewish History: "1762: Myth meets myth. According to the non-Jewish world the sandwich was born today when the Earl of Sandwich has a servant bring him a piece of meat between two slices of bread so that he can eat without leaving the gambling tables. As anybody who has ever attended a Seder, the Earl was a Johnny-come-lately since Hillel began eating his sandwich – bitter herbs between two pieces of Matzah – during the days of the Second Temple."
