Movie Review: Sarah's Key

Jews for Jesus — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Kristin Scott Thomas plays Julia Jarmond, an American journalist in Paris. Vichy France was established after France surrendered to Germany on June 22, 1940. To a high degree, the Vichy regime willfully collaborated with Nazi Germany, including raids by the French police to capture Jews. One such raid has come to be known as "La Rafle du Vel d'Hiv" (The Great Raid of the Vel d'Hiv). The Velodrome d'Hiver was a bicycle-racing stadium in Paris. On the nights of July 16 and 17, 1942, the French police arrested more than 12,800 (3,031 men, 5,802 women and 4,051 children aged between 2 and 12) and took them to the velodrome. They kept them there for five days without any food or medical care and then transferred them to transit camps. The French police separated the children from their parents immediately after their arrival at the camp. The parents were transported to Auschwitz and gassed. The children stayed in the transit camps, sometimes for...

Resolving the December Dilemma

Jews for Jesus — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0800

I don't know where I first heard the term "December dilemma," but it accurately describes a Jewish conundrum at this time of year. It refers to the cross-cultural tension that intermarried, specifically Jewish-Gentile couples and their children, experience at the winter holiday season. Many intermarried couples find these days particularly distressing. Familiar cultural symbols seem to scratch across the grain of a partner's ideal for celebrating the season. In North America the typical expectation is of good cheer, communal warmth and family joy. That would hold true whether entering into the Christmas spirit or Hanukkah remembrance. However, in the new Jewish family pattern, where multi-ethnic members are increasingly mixed into the family, the atmosphere can be uncomfortable. Emotions can get stirred up over how holidays should be observed, especially when more than one tradition is present in the home. If that is your experience, let me encourage you: It's not your fault; it is...

On Thanks Giving

Jews for Jesus — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0800

If you think that Thanksgiving is about turkeys and pumpkin pie... ...you are about as smart as a turkey and as bright as a six week old jack-o-lantern without a candle. Sorry to insult you, but I thought maybe, perhaps, I could just shake you up a little bit so that you would know... ...just know that there is a God and He's always doing good things for you. And though He's omniscient, so that He knows everything.... and though He's omnipotent, so that nothing is very hard for Him to do... ...He would still like to hear a word of thanks from you. Now you might wonder why since He already knows everything. The answer is this: He loves you. He cares for you a lot. And He would like to know from you that you sense that He's guiding you and that He cares for you. "But how could I know that He loves me?" Well, you could look at the beautiful world that He made. You could remember each day that you weren't destroyed by an earthquake, a volcano, a typhoon or a falling meteor......

Jews for Jesus — Thu, 20 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Dear friends,

If you are reading this, it means that I have gone on to my reward.� As I write this, I can only think of what the Scriptures say and that is, "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither have they entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for those who love him." (1 Corinthians 2:9) Well, I have a big curiosity and by now, I know...

Random Thoughts on Chesing a Make

Jews for Jesus — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Groundhog Day has its groundhog, Thanksgiving has its turkeys, and Valentine's Day has its Valentinus (or Valentine). It was on this day in the year 270 that ...according to tradition, Valentine, a priest in Rome during the reign of Claudius II, is beheaded along the Flaminian Way. One explanation for Valentine's subsequent relationship to the romantic holiday is this: Claudius, seeking to more easily recruit soldiers, removed family ties by forbidding marriage. Valentine ignored the order and performed secret marriages -- an act that led to his arrest and execution. (See Christianity Today) The romantic associations may have even come later: The first recorded association of Valentine's Day with romantic love is in Parlement of Foules (1382) by Geoffrey Chaucer (See Wikipedia): For this was on seynt Volantynys dayWhan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make. Translation: For this was on St. Valentine's Day, when every bird comes there to choose his mate. It's not clear...
