I had the pleasure of sitting across the dinner table from world-renowned oceanographer Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of famed ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau. Before our dinner conversation, I was expecting a depressing update… Opinion - Publisher's Note 2009-11-05T20:00:54+00:00 http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/a_paper_hits_90/ http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/a_paper_hits_90/#When:20:00:54Z
]]>There are no traditional symbols for 90th anniversaries. The symbols only go up to diamonds for 75 years, a mark based on wedding celebrations. After all, very few people — Abraham and a few other biblical matriarchs and patriarchs aside — don’t live long enough to achieve a 90th wedding anniversary. Likewise, most businesses don’t come close to… Opinion - Publisher's Note 2009-10-22T20:00:54+00:00 http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/bhus_music/ http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/bhus_music/#When:20:00:08Z
]]>Erika Pardes Schon wrote a beautiful piece last week for our on-line edition, jewishtimes.com . She poetically began her 1,200 words with an analogy of moving a withering plant from the former Baltimore Hebrew University president’s office. A year later, with a little water and a great deal of sunlight, the plant is flourishing at her new office… Opinion - Publisher's Note 2009-09-24T20:00:08+00:00 http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/this_rosh_hashanah/ http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/this_rosh_hashanah/#When:20:00:13Z
]]>Dear Readers, Advertisers and Friends: Once again, the Jewish people are about to turn their calendars about three-and-a-half months before 98 percent of Americans and more than 99 percent of the world celebrates a new year. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, starts at sundown on Friday, Sept. 18. This year, we usher in what our tradition tells… Opinion - Publisher's Note 2009-09-10T20:00:13+00:00 http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/cardin_debt_paid/ http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/cardin_debt_paid/#When:20:00:32Z
]]>Del. Jon Cardin (D-11th) is guilty of a lot of things. It starts with abusing taxpayer resources. The man who represents a largely Jewish district also is guilty of being a hopeless romantic, who so wanted to be married acted very unromantic in stealing a TV show plot and believing that having his now-fiancée arrested would be romantic.… Opinion - Publisher's Note 2009-09-03T20:00:32+00:00 http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/one_small_step/ http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/one_small_step/#When:20:00:57Z
]]>Last month we revisited the historic and world-changing 40th anniversary of man’s first landing on the moon. We recalled the immortal words of astronaut Neil Armstrong telling us in a crackling transmission that for “one small step” we received a “giant leap for mankind.” That’s why it seems to make sense that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is asking… Opinion - Publisher's Note 2009-08-20T20:00:57+00:00 http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/obama_day_one/ http://www.jewishtimes.com/index.php/jewishtimes/opinion/jt/publishers_note/obama_day_one/#When:20:00:44Z
]]>Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, remarked about the importance of a two state solution to the Israeli/Palestinian issue earlier this week, “The single most important thing is that the new administration in the United States grips this issue from Day One.” As an American Jew, I can emphasis how important that is, and I’m sure the… Opinion - Publisher's Note 2008-11-13T20:00:44+00:00
