Beach Hillel’s indomitable campus professional known for her vibrant presence on campus is heading for graduate school at USC.

 Prof Goldberg recieves the Maimonides Award for Excelence in Teaching from Beach Hillel Director Rachel Bookstein All we can say is thank G-d Prof. Goldberg published his most recent paper in the Journal for the Study of Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewry, and that it is in an on-line journal because now all of us who can’t keep up all our subscriptions to major scholarly journals ($$$$) can read something decent being written about Judaism on the internet.
You can read the paper here You can read the abstract here
And to give all you kabbalah thirsty folks a treat you can start it here:
Ezra portrays the kabbalist as a sage whose wisdom is acquired through a combination of oral transmission, textual study, ascetic practices, and “the attachment to the divine presence.” Whereas Ezra’s predecessors, most notably his teacher, Isaac the Blind, maintained a model of spiritual leadership that required that the kabbalistic sage hide his wisdom from the public, Ezra came to believe that the task of the kabbalistic sage is to teach kabbalistic wisdom to all Israel since only this wisdom could provide Israel with the fortitude to survive exile
Jewliciously famous for bringing his unique kabbalistic blend of Yoga and Torah to Long Beach at Jewlicious this year, Marcus J Freed is going to be in LA this August. Please friend him on facebook or email him directly marcus@bibliyoga.com.
Howdy Bibliyogis
Today’s Kosher Sutra is dedicated to you, friends all over the world who have provided enthusiasm for the Bibliyoga project. Thank you.
BIBLIYOGA PRACTICE: Partner yoga – support each other with leg balance (ie Tree or Archer) BODY BENEFIT: Increased stability and support, and leg strength. SOUL INTENTION: To strengthen another person and help provide balance for others. KOSHER SUTRA: Acquire a friend for yourself. (Ethics of the Fathers, 1:6)
Yoga is so much easier to practice when you’re doing it with a friend. There’s something about the energy of having someone else in the room. My morning yoga practice is generally a solo affair and it’s easy to drift off, lose focus and suddenly find myself staring into space. Last night I was going through the Tripsichore yoga sequences with a friend and reminded of the subtle energy shift that takes place – like having a running partner, it’s so much easier to get motivated (and stay motivated when there’s two of you). I’ll stop this paragraph here before my parents publicly implore me to get married.
Today is Lag B’Omer, the 33rd day of the journey from the festival of Passover to Shavuot, a seven-week process of spiritual liberation.
The Talmud explains how the master scholar Rabbi Akiva had 24,000 students and they were all killed by a mysterious plague which was caused because they didn’t respect one another (BT Yevamot 62b). Too much ego, too much self-centredness. Lag B’Omer was the day the plague stopped. So we rejoice. The story goes on; the great Rabbi Akiva continued undeterred and re-established his academy with just five students. One of them was Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, a leading light in the world of Kabbalah who revealed the Zohar (Kabbalistic ‘Book of Splendour’). Rabbi Shimon eventually died on Lag B’Omer and his passing is commemorated by lighting bonfires to represent the light he brought into the world. Another custom of Lag B’Omer is to get your hair cut (I also did this, but only for an undercut and trimmed ends – religious devotion only goes so far when it comes to the Freedfro).
There is much to focus on from a yogic perspective – revealing light, inner fires, reducing ego – but today’s Kosher Sutra is from Ethics of the Fathers, with the sage Yehoshua ben Perchyah who advised that we should ‘acquire for ourselves a friend’. The Hebrew word he used for acquire was koneh which is usually associated with purchasing something. When we stop to reflect, there is often a cost to friendship which involves putting in time, effort and respect…

Beach Hillel’s Campus rabbi, rabbi Yonah also serves UCI through their University Interfaith Center. You can support the students of UCI all this week as they face intimidation and lies. Email The OC Hillel Director Jordan Fruchtman for details jordan@ochillel.org
Dear California Secretary of Education Thomas,
The “UC Intifada” at UCI – is raging and Chancellor Drake and the University seem unable or unwilling to act in an effective way to protect the best interests of the student body, and keep intimidation, racism, and anti-Semitism off campus.
I have been the campus rabbi at UCI for almost 5 years, under the auspices of an independent Jewish campus ministry. I also serve as the only Rabbi of the UCI Interfaith Center. My concerns are based on long-term, grassroots involvement, which has brought me into contact with thousands of UCI students – Jewish and Gentile.
It is a well established, and sadly, an accepted part of student life at UCI, that Israel and Jews are being singled out, vilified, and targeted for intimidation. It is the same nightmare of previous year’s except much worse and much longer.
Check out a video circulated by the Muslim Student Union on YouTube, which promotes their upcoming “Israel: The Politics of Genocide” nearly-month long campaign. lipitor drug cost Prednisone Withdrawal prednisone stopped taking side effects!

 Nationwide Man-hunt for Stephen Morgan We are sad to share this report with you. Our deepest condolences to the family of Johanna Justin-Jinich
(CNN) — A man suspected of killing a Wesleyan University junior may be targeting the university and its Jewish population, Middletown, Connecticut, police said Thursday. Police have launched a nationwide search for Stephen Morgan, 29, who is suspected of killing Johanna Justin-Jinich.
The young woman was shot and killed Wednesday at a bookstore in Middletown near the Wesleyan campus, police said.
“Evidence uncovered overnight suggests that Mr. Morgan may be focused on the Wesleyan community campus as well as the Jewish community,” said Middletown Police Chief Lynn Baldoni, who did not elaborate.
A statement from the university alleges that Morgan had written threats against “Wesleyan and/or its Jewish students.”
While Justin-Jinich is a student at Wesleyan and is Jewish, there was another connection between her and her alleged killer, authorities said.
In July 2007, Justin-Jinich filed a harassment complaint against Morgan while the two were both taking the same six-week summer course at New York University, NYU spokesman John Beckman told CNN.

Directions to The Walter Pyramid Atherton and Merriam, between Bellflower and Palo Verde
Take the San Diego (405) Freeway to the Palo Verde Avenue off-ramp. Go South at light (left from northbound 405/right from southbound 405) onto Palo Verde. Stay on Palo Verde for approximately 1/2 mile, until Atherton Street, and turn right. Turn left at first light, which is Merriam Way.
(If you cannot find The Walter Pyramid at this point, you’re in big trouble! It’s the 18-story blue building shaped like a pyramid on your left.)

I know you are all wanting to see some of the highlights of the iFest at CSULB! I have a photoset up on our flickr account. To get there look to your right and click on the pictures in the right hand column under the flickr logo. Or you can click on the picture in this post, or you can click THIS! Additionally I am posting pictures from the Occupation 101 event the MSA produced in honor of Yom Ha’Atzamut. If you think it looks a lot like last year’s wall you are right…I think it is the exact same mis-imformation and false claims. The reprise of the theater/skit portraying brutal Jewish soldiers will be available on YouTube soon, and I will post the links here. Beach Hillel is very sad to have these kinds of pictures to show folks, but if I don’t show you them who will? If you have pictures you want to add to the photo set, please send them our way!
