go almost 3 tenths of a mile,

the restaurant is located just past the VFW,

make a left into the Jerusalem Restaurant parking lot.

Go into the cafeteria, get your food, and find us at one or more of
the tables in the cafeteria Note: if you are coming from the WEST
take Route 280 EAST to Exit 5A Livingston South

and follow the directions above. If you are taking Route 287 North

at Jerusalem Restaurant (cafeteria) 99 West Mount Pleasant
Avenue (also known as Route 10) in Livingston NJ, 07039

If anyone is interested after the event above we have the option
of going on to see a movie. We hope to find a movie from the movie
section of the newspaper.

If we can find one at a nearby theater we expect that anyone who
wishes to go to it will do so.

There are 2 nearby theaters:

The first is: Loew's East Hanover 12
145 State Route 10
East Hanover NJ, 07936
973-515-1200 973 515-1160

When you leave the restaurant make a LEFT TURN onto Route 10 West
go a few miles, you will see a Burger King on your left then
a Ford Dealer then a Warnock Car Dealership all on your left,
the movies are also on your left, however to get to them you will
need to make a
jughandle type turn, as the movies are on Route 10 Eastbound and you
will be
going on Route 10 Westbound from the restaurant. If you get to
Novartis you have
gone too far and need to turn around and take Route 10 eastbound to
the movies.

The next is: Essex Green Cinema
495 Prospect Ave
West Orange, NJ 07052-4100
(973) 669-1977
http://newyork.citysearch.com/map?
mode=geo&id=6616610&map_lat=407895&map_lon=-74\
2555&fid=1&


If we decide to go to a movie at the Essex Green Cinema
we will make a RIGHT TURN when we leave the restaurant and proceed
on Route 10 East we will be going well past the Livingston NJ Post
Office and
well past the Exxon gas station on the RIGHT. Continuing
on Route 10 Eastbound we will eventually pass an Exxon gas station
on the LEFT. We will continue to proceed on Route 10 East to the
next traffic
light, where we will make a LEFT turn onto
Prospect Avenue in West Orange, New Jersey.

We will then make a LEFT turn just past the Exxon and Sunoco gas
stations (the gas stations will be on our RIGHT) but we will be
making a LEFT turn into the Essex Green shopping center
where we will find the movies quite easily.

In 1948 c.e. the modern State of Israel was established.

Jerusalem was reunited in the early days of June 1967 c.e. in what
was known as The Six Day War, launched by Israel as a pre-emptive
war of self-defense to prevent an imminent arab attack on the
modern State of Israel.

We can think of no better place in New Jersey to celebrate the fact
that the Jewish people ARE in a united Jerusalem, in the modern
State of
Israel, than a restaurant (cafeteria in this instance), called
Jerusalem Restaurant.

NEW_JERSEY_SCIENCE_ FICTION_FANS
Wants you! Our Science Fiction group is for everyone 21 or older
regardless of background or marital status. Younger fans should find
another group.
Please introduce yourself when you join and
periodically as new members keep joining. We plan to get together at
restaurants and to go to movies. We will see them in movie theaters,
and, if people are kind enough, on people's home VCRs, or DVD
players, for the technologically advanced among us. Buy your own
movie tickets. Buy your own meals at Restaurants. Hopefully a
typical event would involve going to a Science Fiction Movie and
then to a Restaurant to discuss the movie we just saw.

Please also join the Science Fiction Association of Bergen County,
New Jersey http://www.sfabc. org and attend their many wonderful
events.

Are you a single Science Fiction fan looking for a soulmate? Perhaps
you will find that person here. This club is not a New Jersey
singles group per se, and is open to anyone over 21, regardless of
background or marital status, nonetheless, love is a good thing.

Many science fiction fans in New Jersey also happen to be Jewish.
Most science fiction fans are male. For the single Jewish woman in
New Jersey joining a science fiction group may be the ideal way to
find her ideal man. Unlike most singles events, which tend to be
attended by more women than men, most science fiction events are
attended by more men than women.

Wants you! Our Science Fiction group is for everyone 21 or older
regardless of background or marital status. Younger fans should find
another group. Please introduce yourself when you join and
periodically as
new members keep joining. We plan to get together at restaurants and
to go
to movies. We will see them in movie theaters,and, if people are kind
enough, on people's home VCRs, or DVD
players, for the technologically advanced among us. Buy your own
movie
tickets. Buy your own meals at
Restaurants. Hopefully a typical event would involve going to a
Science
Fiction Movie and then to a Restaurant to discuss the movie we just
saw.
Are you a single Science Fiction fan looking for a soulmate? Perhaps
you
will find that person here. This club is not a New Jersey singles
group per se,
and is open to anyone over 21, regardless of background or marital
status,
nonetheless, love is a
good thing. In the parts of New Jersey where the
science fiction clubs we know of operate there is also a
very high percentage of Jewish residents. Many science fiction fans
and
science fiction writers and even science fiction stars, like Leonard
Nimoy,
(Mr. Spock), of Star Trek, and William Shatner (Captain Kirk), of
Star
Trek, also happen to be Jewish. Most science fiction fans I know are
single
men, and many of them, at least in places like New Jersey, are
Jewish.

ZOA Opposes U.S. Proposal To Give $400 Million In Aid To Abbas' PA
October 26, 2007
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Morton A. Klein, 212-481-1500
JPost: AIPAC, Peace Now, Israel Policy Forum,
Arab-American Institute support U.S. aid to PA

New York — A major increase to a total of approximately $400 million
in American funding for the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its
president, Mahmoud Abbas, has been proposed by the Bush
Administration. The Jerusalem Post has reported that this proposal
has received support from the American-Israel Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC), as well as Americans for Peace Now, the Israel
Policy Forum and the Arab-American Institute. When questioned about
the new aid request, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice replied
that the Bush Administration was "seeking funds to support the
government of Salaam Fayyad and Mahmoud Abbas because we believe
that this [represents] the best chance for moderate Palestinian
government" ( Jerusalem Post, October 25, 2007).

The ZOA strongly opposes this aid to the PA and is on Capitol Hill
making this clear to lawmakers. The ZOA firmly believes that trying
to induce moderation from the PA by rewarding it, instead of
demanding the implementation of agreements and reforms before
offering any rewards and concessions, will only reinforce the PA's
resistance to moderation and peace-making. Why would Abbas and Fatah
fulfill any agreements or make any genuine moves towards peace if
they have had it proved to them, time and again over 14 years, that
they will receive praise, support and funds from America without
fulfilling a single one of their obligations under signed
agreements ?

The ZOA will be urging the Bush Administration to make this funding
contingent on Abbas and the PA fulfilling all of their commitments
that they made with the Oslo I, Oslo II, Hebron, Wye and Roadmap
agreements. The PA should not receive an additional penny until this
is done, otherwise, a clear message is sent that we in the U.S. are
not truly serious about the PA fulfilling signed commitments to
fight terror and end incitement."

The PA remains a terror-supporting entity that has not fulfilled its
14 year old obligations to jail terrorists and confiscate illegal
weaponry and end the incitement to hatred and murder in the PA-
controlled media, mosques, schools and youth camps that feeds
terrorism and fosters a culture of suicide terrorism
and `martyrdom.' Abbas himself has failed to condemn terrorism
against Israel but has on the contrary praised terrorists; and the
Fatah Constitution to this day calls for the "demolition" of Israel
(Article 12); the use of terrorism as an indispensable part in the
strategy to obtain that goal (Article 19); condemns Zionism as
racist (Article 7); calls on countries to prevent Jews from moving
to Israel (Article 25); and opposes any political solution
whatsoever (Article 22). Since September 2000, Fatah has been
responsible for as many murders of Israelis as Hamas: the terror
groups having murdered nearly 500 Israelis each since that date in
scores of suicide bombings, hundreds of roadside bombs, and
thousands of shootings.

Mahmoud Abbas in his own words:



On recognizing Israel:" It is not required of Hamas, or of Fatah, or
of the Popular Front to recognize Israel" (Al-Arabiya [Dubai] and PA
TV, October 3, 2006).

Fighting Israel: "We have a legitimate right to direct our guns
against Israeli occupation ... Our rifles, all our rifles are aimed
at The Occupation" ( Jerusalem Post, January 11, 2007; Independent
Media & Review Analysis, January 12, 2007).

On Jews: "The sons of Israel are corrupting humanity on earth"
(World Net Daily, January 11, 2007).

On Israel: "the Zionist enemy" (Associated Press, January 4, 2005;
CNN.com, January 7, 2005).

On suicide bombers: "Allah loves the martyr" (Wall Street Journal,
January 5, 2005).

On wanted Palestinian terrorists: "heroes fighting for freedom" (Age
[Melbourne], January 3, 2005); "Israel calls them murderers, we call
them strugglers" ( Jerusalem Post, December 25, 2004).

On Palestinian terrorist leaders Yasser Arafat, Hamas' Ahmad Yasin
and Abdel Aziz Rantisi and Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Fathi
Shikaki: "martyrs" (Palestinian Media Center , September 9, 2005)

On Hamas: "We must unite the Hamas and Fatah blood in the struggle
against Israel as we did at the beginning of the intifada. We want a
political partnership with Hamas" ( Jerusalem Post, February 5,
2007).

On Yasser Arafat: "It is our duty to implement the principles of
Yasser Arafat" ( Haaretz, January 3, 2005); "We will continue in the
path of the late president until we fulfill all his dreams" (Agence
France-Presse, November 11, 2005); "The Palestinian leadership won't
stray from Arafat's path" (Yediot Ahronot, November 11, 2006)

On disarming Palestinian terrorists: a "red line" that must not be
crossed (Washington Times, January 3, 2005)

On jailed Palestinian terrorists: "our heroes." (Israel National
News, May 26, 2006).

On the so-called `right of return' of Palestinian refugees and their
millions of descendants which, if implemented would end Israel as a
Jewish state: "The issue of the refugees is non-negotiable" (
Jerusalem Post, January 11, 2007).

On the Lebanese terrorist group Hizballah: A source of pride and
sets an example for the "Arab resistance" (Jerusalem Post, August 6,
2006).

Saddam Hussein: " Saddam Hussein has entered history as a symbol of
Pan-Arab nationalism" (Independent Media Review and Analysis ,
December 31, 2006).



Mahmoud Abbas' acts:



Holocaust denial: He wrote a PhD thesis and published a book denying
the Holocaust.

Terrorist group Fatah: He co-founded with arch-terrorist Yasser
Arafat the terrorist group Fatah, whose Constitution to this day
calls for the destruction of Israel (Article 12) and the use of
terrorism against Israelis as an indispensable part of the struggle
to achieve that goal (Article 19).

Funding terrorism: as senior PLO official, he funded the Munich
massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes in 1972.

Terror & incitement to violence: He has refused to implement the
signed Oslo agreements and the 2003 Roadmap peace plan which
requires him to fight, arrest, extradite and jail terrorists and
confiscate their weaponry and end the incitement to hatred and
murder in the PA-controlled media, mosques, schools and youth camps
that feeds it.

Terrorists' plan for more violence: In May 2006, he endorsed the so-
called `Prisoners' Plan', a document produced by jailed Palestinian
terrorists, that endorses continued terrorism against Israel,
legitimizes the murder of Jews, does not accept Israel's existence
as a Jewish state, abrogates Palestinian obligations under the
signed Oslo agreements and the 2003 Roadmap peace plan, and insists
on the `right of return.'

Money for suicide bombers' families: In December 2005, he approved
legislation mandating financial benefits to be paid to families of
killed Palestinian terrorists.

THE BATTLE FOR JERUSALEM - IS IT ALREADY TOO LATE?
Filed Under (Ruth Matar's letters from Jerusalem) by admin
Letter from Ruth Matar (Women in Green) Jerusalem
Thursday, October 25, 2007
Dear Friends,
On Tuesday, October 23rd, two days ago, Women in Green held a
demonstration at Paris Square in Jerusalem, very close to Ehud
Olmert's residence. We held posters and handed out bumper stickers
saying: "Olmert is Dangerous for the Jews", "the Land of Israel
Belongs to the People of Israel", "Jerusalem is not for Sale", "No
to a Palestinian State", etc.
An elderly gentleman came up to me and said: "I admire you for
holding this demo, but I can tell you that, unfortunately, it is not
of any use ­ what the World is planning in Annapolis is nothing short
of gang rape of Israel. It is already much too late."


I agree with this elderly gentleman that the present situation is
most dangerous for Israel. Our Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, is
indeed a threat to the very survival of the Jewish State.
Every day we read about Olmert's latest concessions to Abbas with
regard to Jerusalem, albeit unconfirmed:
1. Dividing Jerusalem into two parts, Jewish and Arab.
2. Handing over complete control over the Temple Mount to the
Muslims.
These rumors may be "unconfirmed", yet many Members of Knesset seem
to take them very seriously. More than half of the Knesset members,
from both the Opposition and Coalition factions, have already signed
a petition against plans to hand over parts of Jerusalem to the
Palestinian Authority, including giving the Muslims complete control
over the Temple Mount.


The Knesset Members are justified in their fear. The Prime Minister
asserted earlier this month that he DOES NOT NEED KNESSET APPROVAL
TO REACH A JOINT DECLARATION WITH PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY CHAIRMAN
MAHMOUD ABBAS.
Olmert's insistence that there is a natural division between Arab
and Jewish Jerusalem is complete fiction.


For many years, Arabs immigrating into Palestine tried to violently
drive the Jews out of their homes in the holy city of Jerusalem.
The first large Arab riots took place in Jerusalem in the
intermediary days of Passover, April 1920. Six Jews were killed and
some 200 injured in the course of these riots. Such unrest and
violence continued in Jerusalem for years, resulting in Arabs taking
possession of many Jewish homes.


When you next come to Jerusalem, I suggest that you take a guided
tour with the "Ateret Cohanim" organization. You will see proof of
original Jewish ownership on the doorposts of what are now Arab
occupied homes in the so-called "Muslim Quarter". You can clearly
observe a hollow niche where a Jewish Mezuzah was once placed!


Why did Prime Minister Ehud Olmert recently allow Arab bulldozers
and other heavy equipment to be used to dig a massive trench on the
Temple Mount? The Islamic Waqf custodians claimed the work was
necessary to replace electrical cables. Is Prime Minister Olmert
really gullible enough to believe this?


In an article by Aaron Klein of WorldNetDaily, posted October 22,
2007 he says that prominent Temple Mount archeologists accused
Olmert of attempting to cover up the alleged failure to properly
supervise a dig in which Islamic authorities were accused of
deliberately destroying Temple Mount antiquities.


Palestinian and Muslim leaders have always routinely denied well-
documented Jewish ties to the Temple Mount. Using heavy equipment in
order to supposedly replace electrical cables was clearly an attempt
to destroy the evidence of the two Jewish Temples!
Why did Olmert not allow the Israeli Antiquities Authority to
supervise this dig? Did he not realize that the Arabs were
deliberately destroying the evidence that ties the Jews to the
Temple Mount?


The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism! We must understand
the significance of the Temple Mount to the Jews, and thus the
dangers of handing over complete control over it to the Arabs.


The following is a short historical background on the Temple Mount:
Jewish tradition, from its very beginnings, has seen the Temple
Mount in Jerusalem as the very center of the universe, the focal
point of G-d's connection to the Jewish people and all of mankind.
The Torah relates in Genesis that the near-sacrifice of Isaac took
place atop Mount Moriah, which was identified with the Mountain of G-
d, the Mountain of pilgrimage that is the Temple Mount.


After King David founded Jerusalem as the capital of the kingdom of
Israel, he purchased land with a granary from a Jebusite named
Aravna; David's son Solomon built a magnificent Temple there that
stood for 400 years. Solomon's Temple was designed and built as a
permanent shrine on a grand scale, which would replace the
Tabernacle that had served the Israelites in the desert, and in
various temporary locations within the Promised Land.
Although destroyed by the Babylonians in their conquest of Judea,
the Temple was rebuilt by the returning exiles, and served as the
center of Jewish spiritual and material life for the next 600 years.
In the reign of Herod the Great, near the beginning of the Common
Era, the Temple was completely refurbished, while the Temple Mount
almost doubled in size ­ all in order to accommodate millions of
pilgrims, Jews and non-Jews from all over the known world.


Almost 2000 years have passed since the Romans destroyed the Second
Temple; yet committed Jews throughout the centuries, in all the
lands of their exile, have prayed in the direction of their ruined
Temple. To this day, Jews focus their hopes, dreams and prayers on
the speedy rebuilding of the Temple, as the central condition for
national and cosmic redemption.
According to the Hebrew poet Uri Zvi Greenberg (1896-1981), "whoever
controls the Temple Mount controls the entire land of Israel!"


This is as true today as when Uri Zvi Greenberg originally wrote
these lines.
It is imperative that we stop Ehud Olmert from treating our beloved
Jerusalem and the rest of the Holy Land as his private real estate!


It is imperative that we make Olmert understand that he cannot
barter away Jerusalem and the rest of our Homeland to Chairman
Mahmoud Abbas without even Knesset approval!
Going back to the elderly gentleman at the demo two days ago, I
agree with him that the Annapolis Conference might well turn into a
gang rape of Israel.
However, it is not too late!


We must all work together to prevent a great tragedy!
IN ISRAEL, we must, at all costs, work on removing Olmert from the
seat of power, so that he cannot treat Israel as his private real
estate.


IN THE UNITED STATES, you, dear friends, must convince President
Bush that no part of Israel is for sale!
IT IS NOT TOO LATE!
With Blessings and Love for Israel,
Ruth Matar

Item immediately below is from CAMERA
Please forward this announcement to people who are committed to fair
and factual reporting about Israel and the Middle East.

Shalom CAMERA E-Mail Team:


CAMERA is pleased to announce the official launch of "Eyes on
Israel," our new curriculum for middle school and high school
students on the media's coverage of the Middle East. This follows
the well-received piloting of the material last spring in middle
schools and high schools across the country.



Cover of "Eyes on Israel" Curriculum


"Eyes on Israel" is a multi-part, modular curriculum that seeks to
help students practice analytical thinking and develop a critical
eye regarding what they read, see and hear about Israel in the
media. Over the years, educators and other community leaders have
contacted CAMERA with requests for curricular materials to help deal
with media portrayals of Israel and the Middle East; "Eyes on
Israel" is CAMERA's response to that need.

Praise from the schools that recently tested it was uniformly
positive. One teacher, who used it in 9th and 10th grade classes in
a Michigan day school wrote, "I thoroughly enjoyed using the
curriculum. The information was clearly presented and readily
understood… My principal dropped in for a surprise visit on the day
that I did the unit on the Security Fence… She was delighted to see
the students exercising critical thinking skills and evaluating the
various sources that were quoted." The principal of a congregational
middle school in suburban Chicago wrote: "[We] were extremely
pleased with the material. The students received so much from the
program!" Still another congregational 7th-8th grade teacher from
Tucson, AZ remarked, "Curriculum is excellent. Content very thorough
and applicable. Very user friendly."

In August, CAMERA promoted "Eyes on Israel" at the 2007 CAJE
(Conference on Alternatives in Jewish Education) conference in St.
Louis. Once again, the response was enthusiastic. Educators from all
across the country, as well as from Canada, Argentina and Turkey,
requested copies. While middle and high school teachers were most
represented, youth group personnel and college instructors were also
interested in receiving the curriculum.

"Eyes on Israel" consists of four modules, suitable for use in a day-
school, community high school or congregational school setting,
regardless of denomination. The four sections are:

1) Journalism and its Responsibilities : An introduction to the core
issue of this curriculum, this module touches on the obligations of
journalists in covering complex issues like the Middle East
conflict. Students explore journalistic standards and ethics and
their relationship to reporting on Israel.

2) U.N. Resolution 242: A Case-Study in Media Coverage: Students
examine the key diplomatic component of Arab-Israeli negotiations
and how it is rendered in the media


3) What You Can Do: Mindful of journalists' responsibility to follow
their professional standards, this module teaches students how to
advocate for balanced and accurate coverage of the Middle East.

4) A Brief History of Modern Israel: A concise overview of the
history of Israel from the late 19th century to the current day
providing basic facts and events concerning the Arab-Israeli
conflict. Full of richly illustrated materials, the module also has
an extensive appendix of recommended books and videos.

CAMERA is distributing the curriculum free of charge . Schools will
receive a CD compete with lesson plans, student handouts and
teacher's aids in PDF format as well as the multimedia material -
radio and television broadcasts, PowerPoint slide shows - referenced
in the four modules. Individual schools would then be responsible
for printing out the materials they plan on using.

ACTION ITEM

If you're involved with a school that you think might be interested
in using "Eyes on Israel," or know of someone in such a school,
please contact CAMERA's curriculum coordinator, Hillel Zaremba, at
hillelz@...
hillelz AT camera.org

or by phone at 610-667-4026. He'll be delighted to answer any
questions.

Thank you!

c-span, also known as C-SPAN provides much valuable information.
However, we are
distressed that programs like
Washington Journal on c-span seem to provide a forum for
anti-Semites and enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in
general who seem to not only call into that t.v. show, but get
through, and get
on the air, where they are seldom interupted or cut off by the show's
moderators. We feel that a 2 minute delay could enable the show's
moderators to
screen out the anti-Semites and enemies of Israel and the Jewish
people, however
no such 2 minute delay seems to be in place. Moreover the moderators
of that
show and others do not seem to be of a mind to cut off the anti-
Semites and
other enemies of Israel and the Jewish people in general who
regularly call into
that show and others
on c-span. We have therefore created this Yahoo Group in the hopes
that members
of the group will become regular viewers of c-span and will call in
regularly to
Washington Journal and other c-span call in t.v. shows, to support
Israel and
the Jewish people and to counter the anti-Semites and other enemies
of Israel
and the Jewish people whose calls are regularly aired on c-span. We
also hope
that members of our Yahoo Group will contact their U.S.

If you know of other pro-Israel on line groups and/or pro-Israel
groups that meet in real life please post the information about them.
There are many avenues for Jewish activism. Support of Israel,
Support of the Jewish people, Opposition to anti-Semitism, to name a
few.
We believe that it is vital for Jewish survival that single Jews
meet other single Jews, marry one another, and raise their children
as Jews. Because there is a hole in our calendar from Friday night
to Saturday night during which many single Jews go to non-Jewish
singles events, meet non-Jews, marry non-Jews, and have children
from those marriages who are not raised as Jews, the Jewish people
faces a very severe problem. We urge everyone who reads this to
contact his or her Rabbi and demand that his or her Rabbi hold
regular Jewish singles Onegs on Friday nights.
We feel that it is vitally important that single Jews go to Jewish
singles events and meet other Jewish singles at those events.
If you know anyone who happens to be Jewish who is hosting a
singles event please ask him or her to consider hosting events just
for Jewish singles.
We also offer the opportunity at our on line Jewish singles groups
to post your Jewish singles introductions and to respond to other
Jewish singles introductions.
Please do so regularly. Please state that you are Jewish, single and
over 21
in your introductions at our on line Jewish singles groups.
Please state that you are Jewish, Single, 21 or over, when you apply
to join the Jewish Singles Yahoo Groups at the websites the urls
below will take you to
