                 The Antiquated Hebrew Language Teaching   system that is place now in all Hebrew Schools and Chaders must go and make way for a new language course.When one goes to Hebrew  they read Hebrew Phonetically in other  words they learn the alphabet and can read write, and pronounce it but haven’t the slightest clue as what they are saying .We Think its high time that the same course method used in Chinese American & Greek American – Polish American language schools  be used in all Hebrew schools outside of Israel.WeI personaly  knew people of  Greek Background born in the U.S .A of American English speaking parents and go to Greek school at lets say  at 5 years old and learn it as a living speak able language same goes for Chinese and Polish. This system must become the curriculum in all Hebrew schools soon. end

(Note to my non-Jewish friends:   the “Shmah” is one of the holiest of Prayers. It translates to “Hear, oh Israel, the Lord our G-d, the Lord is one.”)

Also recently learned that if a Torah scribe makes a mistake while creating a Torah he can correct the mistake unless the mistake is in the word for G-d, in which case the entire torah must be scrapped because the name of G-d must never be erased. The Torah must be buried in a Jewish cemetery

WHAT DO A BUNCH OF OLD JEWS KNOW ABOUT LIVING FOREVER?-CLICK FOR LINK

          Jews of East European or Ashkenazic  background have the highest longevity of all groups on Earth,In a recent study the top three groups were Pre World  War 11 Japanese (those Japanese who were not introduced to western food as post world war Japanese)  Icelandic (diet high in omega 3 oils consisting of  mostly of fish) and East European Jews.The Jews Won Hands down!  Thou Jews of Ashkenazic background  Have A diet low in vegetables high in starch and fat they easily won  the  survey. The Believed reason is that from a historical period lets say years circa 1000   to 1900 As Jews of Eastern Europe were confined to walled sections of the cities known as  Ghettos which had the worst sanitation ( horse-drawn Carts with uncleaned horse droppings) Narrow streets congested living quarters   plus had buildings exceeded and  raised up  as high as 8 stories hundreds years ago unheard of  till the last century to accommodate the large population with  in the Jewish pale of Settlement, In that period  Typhoid  and every airborne disease ran rampant within the narrow walled section of  the streets of Eastern Europa,and subsequently as the centuries past preceding generations where of healthier stock as compared to those populations of  non-Jewish origin. To Jews a super-food is not green leafy vegetables or a strawberry for example but a pastrami club sandwich If you examine the populations of Major world cities Jews Are a minority , but as people reach their senior years the statics change and Jews become Senior and then  become the Majority strange as it may sound. The survey did not include  Sephardic (Spanish Portuguese  or Jews of  Middle Eastern stock )

Let me start  by saying that I will always continue to greet and wish those who are of the Christian faith a “Merry Christmas” but hope that if you don’t know me personally and know my faith please greet me by saying Happy Holidays.

If you know me then please extend a Happy Hanukkah greeting to me.If you don’t  know me a Happy Holidays are in order.There are only 3 different Holidays that take place at this juncture in time Christmas,Chanukah, and Kwanza.When coming in contact with strangers a “Happy Holiday” greeting is in order as they can be a half a dozen different faiths who do not celebrate Christmas.

 When I was growing up as a Jew in the 1950′s in N.Y. C. all year you were an American a part of society all year except from The day after Thanksgiving to New Years Day you were alienated from society.In school in Assembly I remember Christmas songs being taught and sung and I asked when are we going to sing Hanukkah Songs only to get a wise guy smirk from the teachers. The Christmas decoration were up on every main Street U.S.A. and every T.V. show had a Christmas special or theme not to mention every radio station playing Christmas songs.It was like We Jews were aliens In the country for 1 month a year

Mind you my family were loyal upstanding citizens who served in armed forces going back from Civil War Times.Please don’t get my wrong Jews find nothing offense about Christmas songs ….decorations and such it it’s very nice..but not ours

I always considered it an  honor  to be invited to help enjoy Christmas Dinner at  a friends home..It’s just that we have our Holiday  in the same juncture of time & we were being disenfranchised  all over America.

Today with the inclusion Hanukkah in the ‘Holiday Season” makes me feel good that no Jew in America will be alienated once again… Even thou Hanukkah is not the most Holiest of  Jewish Holidays it plays a paramount importance to Jews in today society..

 For those  who schedule events On  Jewish High Holy Days it Amounts to a Slap in The face To Jews all over.It  makes no difference whether it be a Major League Baseball Game or an event  or function where Jewish people are  either active participants or a large  segment of  the audience.We at The Lerman Report urge Jews all over to remember this act of Gross Disrespect and boycott Business’s T.V Shows and not watch news casters that work on High Holidays.Everyone who runs or owns  a business has a calendar and knows when all Major Jewish Holidays falls out especially in  the U.S.A .You mean to tell it was impossible to work out  some sort of an accommodation to switch it to another day ? This is the height of insensitivity .We will say this much Jewish  organizations will always refrain  from scheduling events on Non Jewish Holidays if  it any way interfere with their non-Jewish counterparts participation
