OPINION
Your recent article (The Jewish Zen master to make Seattle appearance, March 5) detailed an appearance by Bernie Glassman in Seattle. Aside from the question of why a Jewish organization would host a Jew who has chosen to be a Buddhist, there is another troublesome issue. His organization, called Zen Peacemakers, notes his alliance with a so-called leader in the Palestinian non-violence movement, Sami Awad. Glassman states on his website that he is going to Israel and Palestine twice a year and supporting Awads efforts. According to NGO Monitor, Awad is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, and he has stated that non-violent resistance is not a substitute for the armed struggle. I would never suggest that people who favor a two-state approach, or even those that are anti-Israel, should be prevented from speaking. And to be fair, the Glassman event may been a lovely evening of peace and fellowship. So why mention it? Quite simply, it illustrates how acceptable it has become for local organizations to host, and for the JTNews to publicize, speakers and events that seek to weaken or discredit Israel, or in this case, those who openly associate with people who wish to harm the Jewish State. And why celebrate a Jew who has chosen Buddhism? Will local synagogues start hosting so-called Jewish Christians or Jewish Muslims next? Obviously, as individuals and as a Jewish community, we should respect those who have different religious or political beliefs. But in a time when intermarriage is at an all-time high, and Jewish pride in Israel is not a given, it should be equally clear that our community institutions should foster love and support of Judaism and Israel. Randy Kessler Mercer Island
EFFECTIVE ALLOCATIONS
Foreign Minister of Israel Avigdor Liberman has proposed that the State of Israel budget $365 million annually for Diaspora education, the objective of which is to serve as an antidote to rising assimilation, intermarriage, and disengagement from the Jewish community. A threshold question is how many additional students can be educated if all of the $365 million is allocated to the United States, and the preferred vehicle is Jewish day schools, at a cost of $20,000 per student annually, or $180,000 per student for nine years (K-8). The answer is shockingly few: 2,027. If we assume that in each grade level there is a potential pool of 60,000 students (1 percent of total estimated American Jewish population of 6 million), it is apparent that use of the money to educate this way is fruitless. While a 10-day or two-week-duration Israel experience is not the equivalent of a K-8 Jewish day school education, there is evidence that in terms of Avigdor Libermans objectives, there is a near equivalency. Assuming a per-student cost of $5,000 for a 10-day Israel experience (Birthright Israel is less), $365 million would fund 73,000 Jewish teens on a life-changing Israel experience, as compared to a mere 2,027 children for a Jewish day school experience. Potentially every Jewish 16 year old and 25,000 additional teens in the Diaspora could be served each year, with the antidote to rising assimilation, intermarriage, and disengagement from the Jewish community. Jewish continuity will be assured. Mr. Liberman must be applauded for his wonderful idea of allocating $365 million from Israels budget to educate Jews of the Diaspora. Now his challenge is to use the money most effectively. Robert I. Lappin President, Lappin Foundation Salem, MA

Breaking bread by hand is very common, because of the desire not to let a knife, an instrument of war, touch bread, the bounty of peace, writes Maggie Glezer in A Blessing of Bread. Here, the bread and knife do touch. Six answers can go in front of bread to get a type of bread (e.g., RAISIN), and they cross six answers that can precede knife to get a type of knife (e.g., STEAK). Where they cross, youll see what unites the bread and knife.

ingful action to reduce gun violence. While we did pass a bill protecting victims of domestic violence by limiting the ability of DV offenders to possess firearms, I have heard loud and clear from leaders of all faiths that we need to take more action. Carlyle: Responsible gun safety legislation continues to be impossible with strong opposition; lack of medical marijuana regulation is a major problem.
