ISRAEL UPDATE November 14, 2014
U.S. lawmakers take hard line on prospective Iran deal
The U.S. senators behind a tough sanctions bill against Iran said on Wednesday
they would push for more penalties against Tehran if they are unhappy with
any nuclear deal, signaling a potential battle with the Obama administration
less than two weeks before the deadline for an agreement. New Jersey
Democrat Robert Menendez and Illinois Republican Mark Kirk said a “good
deal” would require strict limits on nuclear-related research, development and
procurement and a robust inspection regime for decades in Iran. It would
“dismantle, not just stall” Iran’s nuclear program, they said. “If a potential deal
does not achieve these goals, we will work with our colleagues in Congress
to act decisively, as we have in the past,” Menendez, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, and Kirk said in a statement issued on the
first day lawmakers returned from a seven-week election recess. Separately,
President Barack Obama’s administration formally informed Congress on
Wednesday that a state of emergency continues to exist regarding Iran, which
gives the president powers to impose sanctions and regulate trade.

Rabbi Shron’s Joke of the Week
Moshe goes to see his Rabbi. “Rabbi, last week I missed saying grace after
meals.” “Why,” asked the Rabbi. “Because I forgot to wash my hands
before the meal.” “That’s twice you’ve broken the law but you still haven’t
told me why.” “The food wasn’t kosher.” “You ate non-kosher food?”
asked the Rabbi. “It wasn’t a Jewish restaurant.” “That makes it even
worse,” said the now angry Rabbi. “Couldn’t you have eaten in a kosher
one?” “What, on Yom Kippur?”
Advance RSVP’s preferred by Dec. 1.

4,000 YEARS OF JEWISH HISTORY IN SIX WEEKS
Rabbi Jeffrey Shron will be presenting an exciting journey through 4,000
years of Jewish history. The six session course in Jewish history created by
the National Jewish Outreach Program is open to all members of the Jewish community. Rabbi Shron will present an overview of the great events
that have shaped the Jewish people throughout time, the great impact Jews
have had on nearly every country in the world, and the great Jewish heroes
such as Saadia Gaon, Don Isaac Abarbanel, Uriah Levy, etc.
This course will discuss the different segments of Jewish history:
1) Biblical Times
2) From a United Kingdom to Exile and Diaspora
3) The Jewish Epicenter Moves West
4) Jews Enter and React to the Modern Era
5) Holocaust and Renewal.
Learning about our rich heritage will enable participants to develop an appreciation for their
people’s history and inspire them to become increasingly involved in Jewish life.
The course will meet on five consecutive Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. beginning on January
28, 2015. The final session will meet on Tuesday, March 3rd at 7:00 p.m. For more information,
please email Rabbi Shron at: rabbijeffreyshron@gmail.com.
