As a documentary filmmaker and journalist who lived in Israel for 10 years, I still found it difficult to let my daughter come to Israel now. I reviewed the potential dangers with her and I told her that if at any time she wanted to come home, even in the middle of the program, she could. I also told her I felt proud that she was willing to go and to serve. It is abundantly clear that now, more than ever, Israel needs support from Jews around world. Whether we want to admit it or not, the fate of Israel affects all Jews. We are all bound to Israel's destiny as any one cell of the body is connected to the others. And so it is with us, with Am Yisrael, the people of Israel. So, when Israel is in trouble, every Jew is in jeopardy - even those who keep their Judaism on a back shelf or under wraps. Sir, - In his August 17 article \"Modifying whose behavior?\", reporter Larry Derfner curiously implies that the Israeli public is opposed to Israel's takeover of Orient House, calling this \"the consensus opinion beyond the boundaries of Israel's National Camp.\" Yet a survey in the same day's Ma'ariv revealed that twice as many Israelis favor the decision (58 percent) as oppose it (29%); supporters include 77% of right-wing voters and 71% of centrists.

Judge Allows a Jury Trial In a Case of Jewish Divorce
2002
A Heter also would have helped Mr. Sieger gain disputed property, the judge said, and Mrs. Sieger said that was one of Mr. Sieger's goals: holding on to the two nursing homes that she brought into the marriage. So she filed a wide-ranging lawsuit. Judge [Martin Schoenfeld] on Wednesday refused to dismiss counts of defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress, which included the claim that Mr. Sieger paid bribes to the rabbis of a religious court for the Heter. And the judge expressed skepticism that the required 100 rabbis had approved the decree. Louis Tratner, a lawyer for Rabbi Solomon B. Herbst, one of the rabbis named as in the suit, denied that his client had taken a bribe. Mrs. Sieger accused Rabbi Herbst of being the go-between with the rabbis who issued the Heter. The lawyer for those rabbis, Nathan Lewin, did not immediately return a call.
