Operation Cast Lead By Stuart Levy UJA ShaliachTzvi Pittinsky
Operation Cast Lead was Israel's defensive military campaign against Hamas in Gaza from December 2008 to January 2009. Israel launched air strikes and a ground operation in response to Hamas breaking a ceasefire and firing over 3,000 rockets into southern Israel in 2008 alone. The operation aimed to stop weapons smuggling into Gaza and bring about a lasting peace with Hamas, allowing Israel to ensure its survival. People were encouraged to support Israel during this time through staying informed, attending solidarity events, and praying for the protection of Israeli citizens and soldiers.

1) The document discusses how Jews in concentration camps found moments of hope and joy through celebrating Purim despite their dire circumstances, such as a prisoner in Dachau named JJ who organized a Purim celebration.
2) It also describes how "Chaim the Rabbi" in Dachau would gather prisoners for evening prayers, and on Purim he dramatically reenacted the Purim story which lifted spirits.
3) The challenges of making sense of the Holocaust through both fictional and true accounts are discussed, and how art can help people grasp the emotions of what occurred while numbers alone may not.
Barbara Kruger is an American conceptual artist known for her works addressing issues of identity, gender, and power through image and text combinations. She was born in 1945 in New Jersey and studied design at Syracuse University and Parsons School of Design in New York. Kruger creates collages that fuse photographs with bold font text overlaid to explore topics like cultural stereotypes and social roles. Her works question how media and images shape perceptions of self and others.
A survey was conducted about designer baby preferences. Most respondents preferred a male baby with brown hair and brown eyes. The most popular adult heights were 5 feet 10 inches for blond haired, blue eyed babies and 5 feet 5 inches or 6 feet 1 inch for brown haired, brown eyed babies. The most preferred professions were surgeon, published author, salesperson and high school teacher. Many respondents also desired their baby to have a talent like art, cooking or athletics but with a potential disease or disability.
Greek drama reflected Greek society's flaws and values, with audiences internalizing both positive and negative messages. Plays were performed in theaters for festivals honoring Dionysus, with the earliest being built in Athens in the 6th century BCE. Tragedies focused on the downfall of a heroic protagonist and taught moral lessons, while comedies used crude humor and typically had happy endings. Greek theater thus exposed societal issues while educating and entertaining audiences.
