The Israel Jewish Spiritual Care Network (IJSCN) recognizes the grave danger inherent in neglecting to establish clear entry-level criteria, training guidelines and credentialing standards for this field, particularly when many people who seek these services are vulnerable prey for charlatans and incompetent \"practitioners.\" The article rightly proffered the concerns of trained psychologists in challenging the aptitude and skill set of current spiritual care providers in tending to complex psychosocial issues and raised the obvious question of how the services of spiritual care providers are distinct from other support personnel. But [Peggy Cidor] failed to provide satisfying responses to these justified queries.

I truly enjoyed reading David Kaplan's article on the retirement home Beth Protea in Herzliya. I only wish we had something similar for the English-speaking community in Eilat. Only recently they started building Eilat's first retirement facility - long overdue. This city is ideally suited for the aged. With a dry heat, it offers a healthy climate and everything is so accessible. I often bump into overseas tourists who say they would love to retire in Eilat if only there was a suitable English-speaking retirement home. We have over 55 South African families in Eilat and many more from the US and other English-speaking countries. This place is truly taking off. All we need is another Walter Robinson , someone with inspiration that can get things moving.

No one would choose to be diagnosed with cancer or any other disease. However, it is not uncommon for participants in our programs to remark that having cancer \"was the best thing that happened\" to their relationship. Often, the simple human act of caring, and a changed \"perspective\" (the meaning of the Hebrew word tishkofet), can alter the experience from what has now been documented to increase the risk of depression and other negative sequellae to one of greater fulfillment in life. (Information on Life's Door-Tishkofet services and upcoming couple's retreats can be found @ www.tishkofet.co.il or call 02-631- 0803). To begin with, Resolution 242 does not require Israel to return to the Green Line (essentially the 1949 armistice line). The resolution, with which its drafters struggled long and hard, calls for Israel to withdraw from \"territories occupied in the recent conflict.\" It deliberately avoids reference to \"the territories\" or \"all territories\" because it was not the intention of the drafters that this would be required. For the other sense of the resolution is that every state in the area has the \"right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries,\" and it was broadly recognized that the Green Line would not provide Israel with secure borders. Resolution 242 addresses only the relationship between Israel and surrounding Arab states. There is no reference to either a \"Palestinian people\" or a \"Palestinian state\" - nor to direct negotiations. Such negotiations were anathema to the Arab states, which had declared three \"Noes\" - no recognition of Israel, no peace, no negotiations.

Sir, - As long as President Obama is in office there is no possibility whatsoever of the US using its military to destroy Iran's nuclear program, no matter how much it insists that \"all options are on the table\" and how many threats it makes (\"PM to Biden: Only credible military threat will stop Iran's race for nuclear arms,\" November 8). Sir, - The British foreign secretary, on his recent visit to Israel, was questioned about the continued threat of arrest for \"war crimes\" hanging over the head of any Israeli government or military personage visiting the UK, and when his government would take steps to cancel or defuse this ridiculous law. The minister replied with noticeable irritation that \"...we will continue to do it to our own timetable. We do not need any intervention by other foreign ministers in that process, including the Israeli one\" (\"We'll amend universal jurisdiction within a year, Hague promises,\" November 5). The Holocaust Educational Trust is an independent UK-based charity that has received funding for its \"Lessons from Auschwitz\" project from successive British governments (\"Because hearing is not seeing,\" November 9). It is not a government organization.(c) Copyright Jerusalem Post. All rights reserved.

I respectfully disagree with [Yehuda Bauer], who feels there is no space in Yad Vashem for reference to Hillel Kook (\"Why Kook is out,\" August 22). If the US Holocaust Museum could find space, surely Yad Vashem can do likewise. I feel that those visiting Yad Vashem should be made aware that in times of crisis, there is an obligation on Jews in free countries to follow Kook's example rather than that of the failed Jewish establishment, which feared to rock the boat and placed their faith in princes. Even if the request is problematic, it is outrageous for Yad Vashem spokesmen to dismiss a petition from over 100 distinguished Jewish scholars and public figures ranging over the entire political spectrum, and say \"We might review the situation in 10 years' time.\" Sir, - Yehuda Bauer of Yad Vashem tells us that the museum \"is devoted, by design, to what happened to the Jews of Europe, in Europe.\" Does that mean it is not interested in the Holocaust the Nazis introduced in North Africa, specifically Tunisia?

Sir, - A few years ago I watched Nicolas Sarkozy demolish Tariq Ramadan on French TV and thought: finally a French politician who gets it. But once in power, European politicians seem forced to say things which make no sense - at least not to readers of The Jerusalem Post who absorbed Sam Ser's cover story on the \"simmering hatred\" in Islam in last Friday's UpFront magazine (\"A radical rethink,\" June 20) notably the interview with Ali Sina. Sir, - Larry Pfeffer was 100 percent correct in criticizing Yad Vashem's refusal to recognize the \"righteous Jews\" who planned, plotted and fought in every way possible to save fellow Jews from the Holocaust (\"Rescue, expurgated,\" Letters, June 24). Sir, - As a fan of Amy Winehouse who stands in awe of her phenomenal voice and talent, I plead: Amy, defeat your demons of drugs and cigarettes while you still can. Emphysema is a living hell. Don't follow those other great talents who lived too hard and died too young, to the music world's great detriment (\"Winehouse denies illness report,\" June 25).
