There's a synagogue today in Manhattan on 95th street called Ohab Zedek
This synagogue used to be in a different location in Manhattan.

Which writer did the Yiddish Forward fire and openly attack
due to the Christian themes in his work.
Sheva? Sholem Asch. He wrote a trilogy.....
The Jewish Agency in Israel changed its mission this year.
In what way did it change its mission?
Sheva? I believe that it's more for the Jewish settlements of the diaspora,
they've recognized that Israel is not the only thing and that they need to do
outreach to the Jews in the diaspora as well....Sheva's right, it used to be
focused on immigration to Israel and Israel realized that many Jews live outside of Israel.
And that they also need outreach, not necessarily to immigrate there
but also to support the foreign Jewish communities...(Audience): Amen. (Gitl): Amen.
Score? 2 to 0. Good. What was the first Muslim country to recognize Israel?
Egypt? No, not Egypt.
Anyone on this side want to try? Do you need to hear it again?
Morocco? No, not Morocco. Do you know? Turkey... Yes, Turkey was the first.

Not a very smart woman. (Audience member): She's still alive? (Gitl): For the time being yes.
1000 pounds I don't know. (Audience member): Has she won anything? (Gitl): She's still working on it...She's eating.
