Germany Extends Pensions for Holocaust Survivors - Jewish World - News - Arutz Sheva

The German Parliament unanimously approved a measure extending pension payments for over 40,000 Holocaust survivors Thursday, allowing them retroactive benefits from as far back as 1997.  The Jewish Claims Conference, which helped negotiate the deal with the government, praised the deal as a “long-delayed measure of justice” to former laborers in German ghettos.  According to the Conference, the survivors are entitled to German Social Security for Work in Ghettos, for laboring "voluntarily" and for having received some form of remuneration during their time in Nazi-era ghettos.

Lamed Vav | Gaga For God: "Just as a seed has no use or value until it is planted in the earth, so to the light of the infinite must reach our finite world (Malchut) so that it can be manifest and have some effect or action. We as G-d fearing Jews do not even say. or write the 4 letter name of Hashem which has the gematria (numeric value) of 26"

(99) Yom Tov Glaser

(99) Yom Tov Glaser: "for us all to "accept" someone's essence. The idea being their "essence" is who they truly are. I believe that these days there is a great deal of hatred amongst groups, within communities, and nations. I believe I have heard somewhere that it was "hatred for no reason" that was the cause of the destruction of the 2nd Holy Temple? If one group, community, or nation specifically defines themselves as hating another group, community or nation, then I would think it would be extremely difficult fot the "hated" group, to like the other group. So consider this problem, if group X, exists simply to destroy group Y- (for no particular reason) how can group Y "transcend the natural reciprocal hatred" and not allow themselves simply to hate group X? Setting this up as an equation works"

Google Voice-Fail: "News: New Direction
So now that Google Voice is no longer invitation-only, I went ahead and created a new account just for this blog. Consider it a social experiment, I guess. So now I have a Google Voice number that exists solely for the purpose of people leaving messages to be posted here. That number is 803-386-9184. (Yes, that's a South Carolina number. That is, after all, where I live and where this started.) So feel free to call, drunk dial, distribute, etc. The more voice mails, the better!"
