Jewish Harlem
   Once, before Rudolph Giuliani was the mayor of New York City, Harlem was a closed area, a ghetto. The police did not dare enter the main street, not to mention the alleyways, of the black neighborhood. Harlem is no longer as it was. But similar neighborhoods exist in many places in the world. Sadr City, for example, is a neighborhood of fanatic Shi'ites in Baghdad that even the American army does not dare to enter. There are no neighborhoods like this in Israel. But if someone wishes to find the old Harlem, or the Jewish Sadr City, he should go to the center of the city of Hebron, to the ghetto called Avraham Avinu.

   Medieval Krakow is the spiritual home of Poland's Jewish revival. Today the city is home to only a tiny number of Jews, but it is rich in historical relics, including six synagogues and two Jewish cemeteries. It also hosts an increasingly popular Jewish culture festival every year.

A Look Back at 'Jewish Science'
   'The Jew of today needs, more than ever, a spiritual influence as a bulwark against worry, fear and anxiety. He needs that source of inspiration that will bring peace to his restless soul, free his heart from forebodings and cares... and replenish the springs of his happiness." Although these passages strike a decidedly New Age-y tone, they date back nearly 80 years to the Jazz Age and were written by a proponent of Jewish Science, then in its infancy.

From Prisoner to Global Thinker
   Natan Sharansky, Israeli Cabinet minister and former Soviet dissident, proves in his latest book that converts are often the truest believers. With "The Case for Democracy: The Power of Freedom To Overcome Tyranny & Terror," Sharansky, educated to love Stalin, displays a faith rivaling Thomas Paine's in the power of democracy. "The Case for Democracy" traces Sharansky's evolution from prisoner to global political thinker, while arguing that all people yearn to be free.

Max Berliner: "Jewish from foot to the top of the head"
   Berliner made his stage debut in 1925, at the age of 5 — 3 years after arriving in Argentina from Poland — in a Sholem Aleichem play in Yiddish. “In many plays, I did speak in Spanish about Jewish themes to spread what Judaism means to people that ignored it,” Berliner says in an interview at the cafe, in the Jewish area of Buenos Aires known as Once.

Theodore Bikel: Born to Run
   Who more an American hero than a Viennese-born, Palestine/Israel-raised, London educated, U.S. citizen with a universal vision? No matter where he goes, he’s among friends. At 80, Bikel hears “four more years” as a personal rallying cry to keep on going for his country.

Second Government
   Alexander Solzhenitsyn once opined that writers should be like "a second government." Back when this country was young, Tom Paine wrote that "my country is the world, and my religion is to do good." In the 1960s, Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, Kurt Vonnegut and William F. Buckley were all part of the national debate. But in truth, it’s been a while since we’ve had men of letters rising to the level of conscience of the nation
Can’t "Handel" the Heat?
   "Part of what makes him so successful is that he’s unpredictable," says Al Peterson, news-talk radio editor of Radio & Records. "He’s also smart and damned funny. He can say the most outrageous things and still not be totally offensive. He’s like the uncle you love, because he’s entertaining, but at the same time, he’s a little bit cranky."
