President’s Message
Dear Brothers:
I want to wish everyone happy holidays during this joyous season. We all have reasons to celebrate as we gather with family and friends. In the spirit of this, we are opening our December General Meeting to include our
significant others to join us for dinner so we can socialize and celebrate the holiday season together.
On Monday, November 10th we held a charity event at Short Hills Deli to benefit the Samost Food Bank of
Cherry Hill. We had a great turn out and raised a nice about of money along with food donations for a good
cause. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the event.
Gloria Geltzer, President of Brith Sholom National had a Board of Governor’s meeting last month. I just
wanted to say that her and her husband Irwin ran a very organized and structured meeting and the organization is lucky to have them.
Mark your calendars for Saturday, January 10th as we will be having our Annual White Elephant Auction.
The event will be held at Vitarelli’s in Cherry Hill and the cost is $25.00 per person. Please see the flyer included in this addition for more details and be sure to RSVP by January 4th. This is always a fun interactive event
so be sure not to miss it!
Our couples Valentines dinner at The Pub is scheduled for February 15, 2015, so save the date. Details to follow.
Remember the trip to the Catskill Mountains is 2/27/15 thru 3/1/15. This is an event you won’t want to miss!
Also, keep in mind we are planning a Comedy Night for early April so stay tuned for additional details.
Again I wish everyone Happy Holidays and best wishes for a Happy Healthy New Year!
Movie Quote of the Month: “Get busy livin’ or get busy dyin’.” The Shawshank Redemption.
Let’s have another great month!

It’s a really good saying, but so hard to rhyme.
Bob Sperling
We all greet each other as everyone knows,
with this wonderful saying; and here’s how it goes:
You’re never alone, you’re never alone; you’re never alone, when you’re in brith sholom.

News & Announcements
Michael "Mike" Harari (February 18, 1927 – September 21, 2014)
was an Israeli intelligence officer in the Mossad. He was involved in
several notable operations, including the failed Lillehammer affair
and the rescue of hostages at Entebbe.
Harari began his intelligence work facilitating illegal Jewish immigration
to British-controlled Palestine after World War II. He then spent time in the army
and Shin Bet before being recruited by the Mossad in the 1960s. During his time in
the Mossad he ran agents in Europe, eventually advancing to the head of the Operations Branch. It was during this time that he helped build and lead teams in Operation Wrath of God, the Israeli response to the Munich Massacre in 1972. In what
became known as the Lillehammer affair, Harari led a team into Norway where
they believed Ali Hassan Salameh, the chief of Black September operations was
living. After identifying and assassinating the target, it was revealed that they had
killed an innocent waiter, Ahmed Bouchiki, who only resembled Salameh. While
authorities arrested many of Harari's team, he escaped back to Israel. A Norwegian
case against him was dismissed in January 1999 because of a lack of evidence.
Despite this setback, Harari later scored two major successes for the Mossad. Before Operation Thunderbolt was launched in July, 1976, to free Israeli hostages at Entebbe International Airport, Harari supposedly took the disguise of an
Italian businessman to enter and reconnoiter the airport. He also helped facilitate
the use of Kenyan air bases to refuel Israeli planes returning from the rescue mission. In January, 1979, Harari led a team that killed Ali Hassan Salameh in Beirut
with a car bomb, the same man he had tried to assassinate in Lillehammer years
earlier.
At some later point in time Harari became the Mossad station chief of Latin America but based in Israel. Although he is said to have retired after this service,
it is unclear if all his Israeli intelligence connections were severed when he left for
Panama. He returned to Israel just before or during the 1989 United States invasion
of Panama, which deposed Manuel Noriega and installed the legitimate presidential
victor Guillermo Endara. Harari later appeared on Israeli television and denied that
he was ever a close advisor of Noriega. He also said that he had escaped by his own
means. Harari was played by actor Moshe Ivgy in Steven Spielberg's 2005 film
Munich, which depicts a controversial account of Operation Wrath of God.
Harari died at his home on September 21, 2014 at the age of 87.
The lodge wishes Marc Milstein a speedy recovery after his recent
prostate surgery. We miss the lodges quintessential White
Elephant auctioneer!
