Historic Czech Torah Part of Peace Curriculum at the Holocaust & Intolerance Museum of New Mexico
A
LBUQUERQUE - A Czechoslovakian Torah from the Czech Memorial Scroll Trust & Museum in London is on display at the Holocaust & Intolerance Museum of New Mexico as part of an educational initiative promoting peace. The Torah is one of 1,564 Scrolls, and other Jewish artifacts, salvaged from historic Czech synagogues left destroyed and deserted following the Nazi invasion during World War II. In 1942, members of Prague’s Jewish community devised a way to bring the religious treasures from the deserted provincial communities to the comparative safety of Prague. The Nazis were persuaded to accept this plan and more than 100,000 items were sent to the Central Jewish Museum in Prague. Among them were hundreds of Torah Scrolls. Each was meticulously recorded on a card index by the museum’s staff with a description of the Scroll and the place from which it came. In 1964, the Torah Scrolls were transferred to Westminster Synagogue in London. After months of sorting, examining and cataloguing each Scroll, the task of distributing them began with the aim of returning them to Jewish congregations worldwide. The Memorial Scrolls Trust was established to carry this out. Over the years the racks have grown vacant as one Scroll after another is restored to its rightful place in Jewish life. Currently, there are about 1,400 Scrolls housed all over the world. Now the only Scrolls available for distribution are those that are returned for a variety of reasons. Congregation B’nai Israel in Albuquerque obtained its Torah several years ago and has agreed to lend it to Holocaust & Intolerance Museum of New Mexico. The Torah will be the centerpiece in a curriculum aimed at educating young people about the Holocaust and combating hatred. “This is a way to remind ourselves as to what happened,” said Congregation B’nai Israel President Harvey Buchalter. “This is a Torah that once served a congregation that is no more. We’ve reclaimed some part of Czech Jewry that goes back 2,000 years.” Museum official agree. “If we do not learn from the inhumanities of the past and present, these brutal injustices will continue worldwide,” said Jerry Small, museum co-

president. “People, especially young people, must not only be aware of this, but also understand it and become active in promoting peace.” The Torah and curriculum will be available until April 2013 at the New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum at 616 Central Ave. SW, in Albuquerque.

Help Your Heart And More
lthough heart disease is the cause of one in four deaths in America today, you don’t have to be a part of those statistics. A Fruitful Solution A simple citrus fruit, bergamot, can help. It contains antioxidants to protect cells from oxidative stress and neutralize free radicals. Research on bergamot extract published in peerreviewed journals showed: • Reductions in total cholesterol of approximately 30 percent; • Reductions in LDL (bad) cholesterol of 38 percent; • Reductions in triglycerides of up to 40 percent; • Increases in HDL (good) cholesterol of up to 42 percent; • Reductions in blood sugar of between 20 and 30 percent.
Although bitter in taste, the patented extract of the fruit makes it easier to take and helps target cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose and abdominal obesity, the major components of metabolic syndrome, also known as prediabetes. This affects about 35 percent of the U.S. population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Called BergaMet MEGA, this all-natural dietary supplement also helps support weight management when paired with a healthy diet and exercise. Explained cardiologist Ross Walker, M.D., “We’re talking about ‘diabesity,’ which represents all of the problems of metabolic syndrome rolled into one. The multiple properties of the bergamot fruit allow it to work at many levels in cardiovascular prevention.” According to one cardiologist, who purchased
450 bottles of BergaMet Pro, he is seeing benefits in lipid levels and significant weight loss in just seven weeks. Learn More You can find further facts and order a supply at www.bergamet.com and (855) 556-2131. --NAPSI
