Turkey: WWII anniversary of deaths of Jewish refugees on torpedoed boat is a muted affair
ISTANBUL (AP) — As Turkey welcomes Syrians fleeing violence, the anniversary Friday of the deaths of more than 750 Jewish refugees who were denied shelter by Turkey in World War II was a reminder of perennial tension between pragmatic and humanitarian impulses. The SS Struma, whose passengers fled Romania and docked in Istanbul, was denied entry to Palestinian territory by colonial power Britain.

Sipping From the Nile: My Exodus From Egypt
“The events precipitated by the nationalization of the Suez Canal in 1956 spun the Egyptian Jews relentlessly out of their comfortable homes and influential positions and scattered them around the globe. To that privileged community, the crisis had exploded with the force of an asteroid colliding with the earth, destroying the work of many generations and forcing many lives, including mine, out of what had appeared to be their destined path.” These words are the crux of this family history, written by someone whose idyllic youth was fractured by international events, ethnic hatreds, and ancient religious divides.

Graves new world
There are many streets in Brooklyn that evoke a strong sense of place: Prospect Park West, Court Street, Bedford Avenue, Neptune Avenue. But mention Avenue U, and you’ll likely get a furrowed brow. That’s too bad, because this relatively undiscovered stretch is home to an interesting mix of ethnic enclaves, old-school restaurants and some of Brooklyn’s most expensive residential properties

Letters to the Editor: JCC closure, Kosher Jesus and prostitution
Letters to the Editor February 15, 2012 Effects of JCC Closure Widely Felt Every morning I take my kids to school at The JCC at Milken. As we enter the Early Childhood Center, we are greeted by the teachers, the secretary and the director, who have become family through the years. We are in disbelief and frustrated that this great place that we know and love will be shutting its doors to our kids, to us, to the teachers and faculty, to the seniors who have a place that cares for them (“Seniors Angry Over Plans to Close JCC,” Feb. 10)

Pressure Building On Haredi Army Exemption Law
When Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, granted a few hundred haredi Orthodox Jews an exemption from army service, it’s likely he never dreamed that 63 years later, tens of thousands of haredi Israelis would claim the exemption—or that the issue would be among the most contentious in modern Israel. Haredi army service took center stage again this week when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he would not seek a five-year extension of the Tal Law but would allow the Israeli Knesset to vote on the issue. The law, named after retired Supreme Court justice Tzvi Tal and enacted in 2002 under then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak, allows full-time yeshiva students to delay their army service until age 23
