Study Proves European Jews Have Genetically Pure Heritage
by M. Plaut

A new study, published online in The American Journal of Human Genetics, indicates on genetic grounds that the first European Jews originated in the same area as their wives. The secular bias of most researchers had led them to assume up until now that the Ashkenazi communities of Northern and Central Europe were founded by men who came from the Middle East, and then took wives from each local population whom they perhaps converted to Judaism.

OPINION & COMMENT

Shinui — A Destructive Flash in the Pan

After probably not refusing a single media interview in the years since he entered politics, Shinui leader Tommy Lapid has not said a public word for several days now. Most observers say that he will probably announce his retirement from politics, but his supporters say that if he really knew what he wanted to say there is no way that he would be silent for so long.

Beis Yaakov -
From a Tender Seedling to a Fruitful Tree

by Yehudit Golan

PART I

Its beginning was sad but in the end, it is flourishing — Beis Yaakov, whose beginnings were paved with the efforts and struggles of the few against the many. Few in number, few in resources but strong in belief and trust, strong in swimming against the current. We hope that it will continue to flourish and grow till all the daughters of Israel will learn only at schools like Beis Yaakov and as part of independent education.
