privilege to be there on Shabbos two times, truly a wonderful place that Hashem loves.

3. Old Torah
David Rue ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.07.10)
Beth Am in Los Angeles has a six hundred year old Torah that can still be used. I have checked it and it is still kosher. they also only use it on Yamim Tovim.
4. #2 is disgraceful
courtney ,   philly, usa   (09.07.10)
who are you to judge anyone simply because of where they live? you would be nothing without American jews, nor jews all around the world. grow up
5. #4
Sol ,   Toronto   (09.08.10)
The point is not that "you would be nothing without American Jews..." Courtney. Who is the "you"? The point is that Avi is a religious zealot who probably has some other issues as well and should get help. It is best to completely ignore people like him - he is sure not what Judaism is about.
6. to 4 , courtney . Not disgracefull !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.08.10)
this bunnie meyer had an article [ in an LA paper , or a website ] about her , telling what kind of racist she is . Posters in her shop show it . She's always telling us , in Israel , how to behave . That why Avi , with reason , talks in this way .
7. Tzfat's 500 year old torah scroll
Simcha ,   So.Cal.USA   (09.09.10)
Such a lovely article. And at this point only 6 posts but already enough people to have an arguement. Aren't we fortunate that G-d created Adam AND Eve,otherwise we would have no one to argue with. Shana Tova my beloved people.
8. Iraq Demands Israel Return Rare Torah
observer   (09.09.10)
Baghdad authorities want back an ancient handwritten scroll, which contains the core five books of the Jewish Bible on parchment.
9. Charles and Avi!
Vladimir ,   Jerusalem   (09.11.10)
Your should change places with Bunnie Meyer! She should come on aliya to Israel. And you two better leave for America and some other distant land. Charles, do you know that you live in a city founded by the religious fanatics?
10. to 9 wladimir KEREN TRY # 2
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.13.10)
At least this bunnie , contrary to you , writes under her TRUE name . But this racist will NEVER make Alyah , too good her life in LA . I know the history of my town , but what remains of those founders ? The name . Do you know that Herzl was a secular Jew ? The same for Weizmann . The "Father" of our Nation , David Ben Gurion , was a secular as where mostly all of the 6000 who gave their blood for our country during the Independance war . Do you know that the high command of the IDF who liberated MY capital , Dayan [ minister of defense ] Rabin [ chief of staff ] and Uzi Narkiss , commander of the central region were ALL seculars . And the work of all those i named can be seen today . Thanks to them we have a country and can visit a part of our History : the Kotel .
11. Iraq ethnicity cleansed Iraqi Jews...
Yerushalmi ,   Jerusalem   (09.13.10)
Book does not belong to Iraq, it belongs to Jewish people, who were in Iraq 2000 years before Arab nomads illegally occupied it... We want our Bavel back, we want our Jewish city of Yatrib (today called Medina, Saudi Arabia) back. We want restitution from followers of Muhammad for holocaust he committed on Jews of Arabia (Holocaust he documented so well in Koran). We want reparations for war crimes Mohammad and his murderous hoard committed. We shall never forget and never forgive those crimes.
