BRITAINS BIGGEST JEWISH NEWSPAPER
MENDEL
THE NATIONAL Union of Students has
elected as president a woman who has attacked the Zionist-led media and sympathised with the armed struggle
against Israel.
Malia Bouattia [pictured, right], who has
been the unions black students officer since
2014, was elected to the top job after a single
round of voting yesterday, despite concerns
from Jewish students over her remarks.

Goldsmith has claimed that Khan has
provided cover for extremists by sharing
a platform with those with extremist views
in the past, resulting in former shadow
minister Yvette Cooper claiming Goldsmiths campaign was moving from subtle dog whistles to racist screams.
Hitting back, Goldsmith said: My campaign has been overwhelmingly positive
but it is absurd to pretend it isnt legitimate to ask questions about Sadiq Khans
links, of which there are many, many,
many. To try to close down those questions by shouting Islamophobia is not only
wrong, its completely irresponsible.
He also spoke of his hopes of leading
a trade delegation to Israel should he
reach City Hall, praising Boris Johnson for
building on the natural relationship.

The shooting took place last
month in Hebron, a city that has
been a focal point of a sevenmonth wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence. Initially, the

raise his rifle and shoot the injured attacker in the head.

Progressives will
show chutzpah
THE HEADS of Liberal and Reform Judaism in the UK told progressive European Jews that
their formula for Jewish life acts
as a magnet for couples, families and unaffiliated Jews.
Liberal Judaisms Rabbi Danny
Rich and Senior Reform Rabbi
Laura Janner-Klausner spoke at
the Biennial Conference of the
European Union for Progressive
Judaism in London.
If Progressive Judaism in Europe is to have a bold future, it will
need to accommodate itself to an
even more complex array of identities which will make up the modern European Jew, said Rich.
Janner-Klausner added: Our
innovative formula for Jewish life
is a magnet for young families,
mixed couples and previously unaffiliated Jews. We need to show
who we are and why we love our
Progressive Judaism using that
famous Jewish skill chutzpah.

Tunnel found
THE ISRAELI military said it
has discovered and destroyed
a tunnel burrowing from Gaza
into Israel the first to be uncovered since Israels 2014
war with the militant Hamas
movement that runs the
coastal strip.
Israeli troops detected the
tunnels exit, still underground, several days ago, according to military spokesman
Lt Col Peter Lerner, who
added he believes the tunnel
was built after the war.
It extended about 100 metres (325ft) from Gaza into Israel and was lined with
cement and outfitted with
electricity, ventilation and rail
tracks to cart away dirt from
digging, Lt Col Lerner said.
He said it was not clear
when exactly the tunnel was
destroyed.

Beth Din: Pesach staples at their cheapest Giving the festival its fizz
THE LONDON Beth Din
has said a combination of
foreign imports and a
drive to certify regular
products as kosher-forPassover means some Pesach products in the UK
this year are cheaper
than ever before, writes
Angie Jacobs.
The claim, made by
Rabbi Jeremy Conway, the
director of the Kashrut Division of the KLBD, came
amid renewed attention
on the price of goods for
the Jewish holiday, which
need special certification.
We are delighted that
due to imports from Israel
and America, and increased competition locally, a huge range of
Pesach products, and especially staple items, are
available at cheaper prices
than ever before, he said.
Conway added that the
London Beth Dins supervision is provided at costprice and that the KLBD
was working to certify
regular products as suitable for Passover use.
As an example, he
added that Tate & Lyle
sugar bearing a KLBDP
stamp was now available
at the normal price.

SPECIAL REPORT: UK-ISRAEL MEDICAL COLLABORATION
FRAZER
WITH A GRIN, one of the

the second day of the event
would be devoted to speed

She was not altogether

About a third of the delegates are already involved in
scientific projects in vital fields
such as Parkinsons, dementia,
multiple sclerosis and other
degenerative conditions.
But many of the other participants had come to Oxford
actively looking for a partner

SOMETIMES KOSHER
REALLY ISNT KOSHER
All food is either kosher or not, claims letter
writer Michael Rosen [Jewish News, 31
March], while complaining about your
Hungry Housewife page.
Really? How come some Jews find kosher
food not kosher enough for them, but have

dishes provided for them? As George Orwell

column on Orthodox schools and Ofsted, the
writer must live on another planet. Girls who
study only Torah? Chasidic communities like
Satmar follow the strict view of Maimonides
that it is wrong to teach girls Torah and do not
even open a Chumash in a girls school.
Aside from the Hirschian Frankfurt School,
most Haredi girls schools limit girls Torah
studies to the practical Halacha required for
women. Only boys follow the intensive
Talmud and Codes curriculum.
In some Charedi circles, the boys have
intensive Torah studies and their future wives
get the broad general education, including
fluent English, they will need to help to keep
their husbands in Kollel.
Many Chasidic schools are in Hackney
where the outside world seems to include
drugs, HIV, crime and promiscuity. We are

HISTORIC TREATY IS
SIMPLY IRRELEVANT
If only Middle East peace was as simple as
some of your correspondents have us
believe. For Uri Rabin and Peter Baum it is
all so clear. If only the Palestinians would
read the 1920 San Remo Treaty or the terms
of the Mandate (from the same vintage), it
would be so blindingly obvious to them and
their supporters that they would give up
their fight for a state.
The truth is that for every treaty dating
from a period when imperial rule was seen as
normal, there is another that could be used
in support of the opposite view (for example
the UN resolution of 1947 that validated both
a Jewish and an Arab state).
Looking backwards 30, 60 or 100 years will
not help anyone, because no one today is
going to base his or her views on what should
happen now in the 21st century on what
statesmen declared in the early 20th.
The tragedies of that century certainly
shape todays political thinking, but what
really matters is what is happening today
on the ground, to both peoples.
The senseless terrorism and continuing
occupation, the despair and incitement,
need to be tackled. The text of the San Remo
treaty will not be of much consolation.

EPHRAIM
MIRVIS
& BRENDAN ONEILL
Chief Rabbi
Ephraim Mirvis
ternalised Islamophobia.
In short, theyre riddled with self-hatred, no
doubt as a result of having been brainwashed with
anti-Muslim misinformation by the media.
So, unlike her, your average Muslim is a bit
dim, fickle, suggestible, their hollow minds
colonised by Big Media. For someone who
claims to be concerned about Islamophobia,
Bouattia is weirdly fond of promoting a view of
Muslims as overgrown children.
Then theres her view of Zionists. She moves
far beyond criticising the idea of Zionism, into rumour-mongering about the evil reach of Zionists
into media life across the West.
She talks about mainstream Zionist-led media
outlets and claims theyre helping to oppress
the global South.
This echoes the foulest arguments pushed by
anti-Semites of old: that the press was controlled
by Jewish forces and that they used their privileged pedestal to hoodwink people and control
world affairs.
Bouattia might prefer Zionist to Jew, and
global South to the world, but her argument
amounts to a PC-rehashing of the vile notion that
those people have too much power.
Old fascistic cartoons showed caricatured Jewish figures feeding people slop/information from
a cauldron marked Juden Presse. Now this
idea has been given a bit of leftish spit-and-polish
and has been embraced by the NUS.
In some radical student circles, a nasty new
anti-Zio politics is taking hold. The chairman
of Oxford Universitys Labour Club resigned earlier this year, claiming some members have
some kind of problem with Jews. Other students now find it virtually impossible to hold proIsrael meetings without facing the shouts and
demands for censorship of student agitators.
The talk of Zios and their white privilege is
especially worrying. It suggests that the very student leaders who pose as anti-racist harbour some
worrying racial ideas of their own.
Indeed, its becoming a new rule of todays
Kafkaesque student politics that those who shout
loudest about the scourge of racism and the need
for Safe Spaces against bigotry will likely be purveyors of the oldest racism and the oldest bigotry.
This is because their outlook isnt really one of
anti-racism, that old, noble goal of achieving
equality and freedom for all. Rather, they practise
the politics of identity, something altogether different, something sectional and ugly and motivated more by the culture of victimhood than a
belief in egalitarianism.
And in this privilege-checking world, where
theyre constantly creating hierarchies of the
oppressed, Jews are just too white and nice
for their liking, so they must be bad, undeserving of sympathy, and perhaps deserving of hatred. In the pseudo-radical name of checking
white privilege, they resuscitate some very
old racial thinking.
When I was at university 20 years ago, the NUS
was obsessed with No Platforming the far right.
Now, in an eye-swivelling turnaround, it has
adopted some of the arguments of the far right.
Talk of a Zionist-led media is not progressive, its prejudice old, ugly prejudice, now at
the very top of the NUS.

before it makes its way to our fridge.
Jamie Oliver reported in his recent TV series that,
at one farm, up to 10 tonnes of vegetables are
rejected each week simply because they are not
entirely blemish free, or their shape does not conform to our ideal image of healthy, fresh produce.
In contrast, matzah is unadorned and simple,
even if its not pretty.
It is modest, unpretentious food that serves its
purpose, which is to nourish. It is authentic to its
ingredients and neither entices nor deludes us with
false promises.
Passover invites us to get back to basics for eight
days. The concept of eliminating chametz suggests
that we let go of our impulse to manipulate, reconfigure and camouflage our food.
It calls on us to redeem ourselves from the
tyranny of trying to imitate chametz. It proposes the
possibility of cooking with wholesome ingredients
that retain their integrity.
Perhaps, through more simple and modest cooking, apart from achieving a healthier body, we can
emerge (from the kitchen!) redeemed.
Then we have the time to study Torah to share at
the seder and the mental space to absorb the spiritual energy of Pesach.

MY JEWISH
HERO
THIS WEEK marks the 100th anniversary of Yehudi Menuhins
birth. There can be few better
choices as a Jewish hero.
Menuhin was the greatest violinist of the 20th century, if not
of all time. Albert Einstein attended his 1929 concerto debut
in Berlin, when Menuhin was
just 13-years-old, remarking
tearfully afterwards that the
day of miracles is not over.
In the 1930s, his biographer
Humphrey Burton says, Menuhin
had already become the most
famous kid on the planet.
That was the start of a contract
with EMI that is the longest in
the history of the music industry,

SHERWOOD
Can Hendon deny
Raiders their treble?
HISTORY IS in the offing for North London Raiders as they have
their sights on winning their first league and cup treble. Having
won the Cyril Anekstein Cup on Sunday, theyre a victory away from
retaining the Premier Division title and having seen Maccabi London Lions A thrown out of the Peter Morrison Trophy, can now win
all three trophies, which would match Hendons achievement of
2014. While Sundays hard-fought win over Oakwood may not have
been one for the purist, it was a game where they simply had to
dig deep to earn their first piece of silverware. Joint-manager Rob
Richman called it one hell of a tough game, and isnt so much
as taking one game, as opposed to one trophy at a time.
RAIDERS ARE still in the shout for a treble after Maccabi London
Lions A were thrown out of the Peter Morrison trophy for fielding
an ineligible player. A shame that one of the games of the season
was marred by this unfortunate oversight from the Lions, the Rowley
Lane side did all they could in terms of holding their hands up and
admitting their fault. Not how they would have wanted to get to
the final, Raiders nevertheless wont look a gift horse in the mouth.
THERE WAS a reported first in the NBA last week when the first Israeli sang the national anthem prior to the start of a match. Opera
singer Lianne Aharony was at the Barclays Center arena in Brooklyn
for the match between the Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors. She
told the Jerusalem Post it was: Amazing, an incredible experience.
Its huge and its a big honour to be in a place like this and be part
of whats happening here.
AND FINALLY just to clarify, Sid Nathan was the former boxer and
referee who passed away recently, and not Stan as appeared.
