The troubleshooting is where I use most of the analytical skills that require data collection, investigation of that data andoften a bunch of experimentation in order tocome up with a solution.

It’s not rocket science, but it still uses the scientific principles in order to resolvecomputer systems issues as quickly as possible.

OpinionPost&The Jewish

Jewish News and Opinion since 1935.

This unswerving drive for careful experimentation without cutting corners has stuck with me for over 35 years as thissimulacrum in the back of my mind: “WouldMrs. Gelb accept these results?” The mentalact of running things that I producedthrough this “check” has helped me be anobjective defender of finding the kernel oftruth as much as I have been able. I thankMrs. Gelb for passing along this scientificpassion that I’ve described above to me.

~ Jeff Groves, former student of Mrs.Gelb’s 8th grade advanced science class atNorthview Junior High School, Indianapolis.

I printed this letter and took it to thenursing home where Mrs. Gelb has beenresiding for the past several years. Eventhough I printed it in large, bold letters she still had trouble reading it so I read theletter to her. She was all smiles after thatand I could tell it meant a great deal to her,but she was curious what this studentdoes now for a living. I replied to his emailand posed that question. He responded:

I’ve just left a position with Verizon whereI was doing computer systems analyst work for the past 15 years in order to take a job with a Silicon Valley company calledHortonworks where I will continue to dotroubleshooting and problem resolution work.

At this time of year for the past 12years, I have written about establishing aspecial day, annually, for the purpose ofremembering those who, in some way,have helped us but whom we neverthanked. It could be because we were tooyoung to realize how much their helpmeant or we were simply too preoccupiedat the time. I suggested that we make Nov. 2 Appreciation Day.

I chose this day because it is betweenthe Canadian and American ThanksgivingDays.This year they fell on Oct. 12 (secondMonday of the month) and Nov. 26(fourth Thursday) respectively.

Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a timeset aside once a year to tell someone whata difference they made in our lives? Whatthey did was valuable to us even if theywere simply doing the job they were paidto do.

This, of course, could and should bedone every day, but sometimes it helps tohave a specific time when others are alsodoing this. Advice columnist Ann Landers,of blessed memory, proclaimed April 2 asReconciliation Day. This day is for peoplewho had been close but had a falling outand stopped communicating. It is a timefor them to contact each other and rekindle their relationship.

This year I was not thinking aboutAppreciation Day until Oct. 17 when Ireceived the following email:

I was looking up teachers from when Iwent to Northview Junior High School (now Middle School) in the late 1970s andfound your article on Martha Gelb. I waspleased to see that she was celebrating her100th birthday last year and to read thestory in your publication. [See page 2 of thefollowing link: http://jewishpostopinion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/IN_5-14-14FFF.pdf]

After reading the article, I felt that I wanted to share with you the impact thatshe, as a teacher, had on me in her scienceclass. Mrs. Gelb helped instill in me theimportance of rigorous scientific methodology.Her unswerving drive to insure that our experiments were conducted with the mostprecision possible and that our write-upswere top-notch have stuck with me to this day.

Her primary objective seemed to be tomake us understand that completing thework was not the goal, but doing the workwith integrity was of the utmost importance.If the class results varied too much on anexperiment, we would discuss why thismight happen, how we might control variables better, and then perform the experiment again.

Family Torah returnedto Indianapolis

In our Sept. 24, 2015 edition we wroteabout a special Torah that surfaced inIsrael. Richard Markowitz who lives inYishuv Tzufim in the Shomron sent us anemail stating that just after the first Gulf War in 1991 his father-in-lawbrought him a Sefer Torah from a synagogue in Miami. The Torah was inneed of repair. He arranged for a scribe to look into repairing it but lost track of it until 2 years ago, when he got it backand kept it in storage.

Mallah and Lora Mordoh, z”l, ofIndianapolis had that Torah written inmemory of their son Ensign GilbertMordoh who was killed at a naval basenear San Francisco in 1944. Two survivingsons are Al and Leon. Their fourth son,Sol, died at age 87 in 2013.

The Torah was for a congregation inMiami Beach on 8th and Collins St., wherethe Mordoh parents lived for some yearsbefore returning to Indianapolis. Whenthe Jews moved away from that neighbor-hood, the congregation folded and theTorah was donated or sold.

On Nov. 29 this Torah was returned toIndianapolis. Several different connectionshelped to get it here. It was brought fromIsrael to Chicago by Anne (Weinstein) Weiss,daughter of William (Bill, z”l) and BebeWeinstein. The Torah was brought fromChicago to Indianapolis by the nephew ofAnne’s brother-in-law, David Bloom, whowas visiting there for Thanksgiving.

Anne and her husband Steve Weisshave renters in Israel who are friends ofRichard Markowitz. The renters heard

from Richard that he was looking forsomeone going to Indianapolis who couldbring a Torah here. The renters knew Annewas originally from Indianapolis so theyasked her and she agreed to bring it onher next visit.

Anne had grown up on Sunset Lane,down the street from the Mordoh’s, andshe knew the family well. Bebe’s mother,Mollie Yosha, had lived across the streetfrom the synagogue in Miami Beach andattended services there regularly. It was aspecial place for her.

Anne’s husband, Steve, is from Chicagobut the reason for their visit there now isthat he has a serious health challenge andone of the most successful doctors treatingit practices there.

Richard has asked, “Please pray for thecomplete recovery of Steve Weiss, Shimshonben Sarah Rivka. Let the entire ‘zchoot’ of

with a BS in Information and ComputerScience…I wasn’t a star student…I creditmy [success to] excellent teachers that I’vehad that included Mrs. Gelb. Thanks forpassing along my thanks.

This gentleman was fortunate that withmodern computer technology and Mrs.Gelb’s longevity, he was able to reach herwhile she was still able to receive his“thank you”.

Besides teachers, these helpers could be counselors, firemen, clergy, nurses,librarians and so forth, or simply relativesand friends. They put forth a great deal ofeffort, often wondering if they are makingany difference at all.

It does not matter how long ago this helpwas received. If many years have passedthat shows the helper that whatever theydid made a lasting impression. So don’twait, thank someone today.

We wish our dear readers a Chanukahfilled with light!

Seniors in Place

We are now approaching Chanukah.On Chanukah we light the Menorah everyevening for eight days. Why? After theMaccabees drove out the Greek invaders,they rededicated the Holy temple inJerusalem. They searched for oil to lightthe Menorah. The Greeks had defiled all of the oil. Finally they found one small jug of pure oil, which was only enough forone day. Hashem made a miracle, and the oil burned for 8 days. Therefore we celebrate Chanukah and light the Menoraheight days.

Today we also see many miracles. I wantto share with you a story about someamazing miracles. As I wrote recently,this is a special year, a year of Assembly.Once in seven years we are commandedto gather together in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, to strengthen our fear ofHeaven. As of yet we don’t have our Holy Temple. We pray that Hashemwill rebuild it. But we still make similargatherings this year, to strengthen ourobservance of Torah.

Tzvi Azarya is a Lubavitcher who lives inRechovot, Israel. In the year 1988, also ayear of Assembly, he wanted to go toBrooklyn, to the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Atthat time he was working for the IsraeliArmy, so he had to get permission to leavefrom his commanding officer. The officerrefused, saying “You only got married ayear ago, and it will cost you a small for-tune to travel to America with your wifeand new baby”.

The next day he decided to offer his officer a deal. The officer had been married already many years, but had not been blessed with children. He toldthe officer that if he would let him go tothe Rebbe, he would promise to ask theRebbe to bless him with children. The officer thought for a few seconds, thensaid “Okay, but remember, a promise is a promise!”

The following Sunday Tzvi was alreadyin Brooklyn, waiting in line to get a blessing from the Rebbe. Every Sundaythe Rebbe would bless thousands of people and give each one at least one dollar. These dollars were meant for charity. Each person was responsible togive at least one dollar to the charity oftheir choice. Most of those who receivedthese dollars from the Rebbe would keepthem, and give other dollars to charity.

The Rebbe blessed him and gave him adollar. He asked for a blessing for childrenfor his officer and his wife.The Rebbe gavehim two more dollars, and said “This is forthe officer, and this is for his wife.”

The Rebbe then took two dollars andfolded them together. Then he tookanother two dollars and folded themtogether. Then he took three dollars and folded them together. He gave theseven dollars to Tzvi, saying “This is for the children.”

Tzvi returned home. He told his officerabout the Rebbe’s blessings and gave him the dollars. His officer was surprised.He told his officer: “You are going to seemiracles and wonders!” His officer asked,“Seven children?” Tzvi answered, “Well,you got seven dollars!”

A few weeks later his officer called himto come to his office and told him that hehas good news. Eight months later he methis officer, who hugged him and kissedhim. He said, “Baruch Hashem! My wifejust gave birth to twin girls!”At this pointhis officer decided to start praying everyday and to put on tefillin.

A year and a half later they were blessed again with twin girls. Then theywere blessed with triplets, three boys,Baruch Hashem.

Conference of Childrenof the DP camps

For children who survived the Holocaust,and came to live in the DP (DisplacedPersons) camps after World War II, thesecamps represented their first exposure toa, more or less, normal life in peacetime.

For the first time they were able toattend schools, and to make friends. Butstays in the DP camps were different foreach family, or better still, unit becausethere were very few whole families. Mosthouseholds, or units, consisted of one parent and one, or more children, if theywere lucky to have survived.

Because of this tragic fragmentation offamilies, the friendships formed by thechild survivors were especially importantto them.Yet those friendships were alwaysdisrupted as children, as their – one orboth – parents attained papers to emigrateto Israel, or some other country to start anew life.

To this day, it is not unusual to speak to child survivors who will nostalgicallyrecall childhood friends whom they have never been able to find again, afterimmigration from the DP camps. This is why the forthcoming conference is ofsuch great interest to children who lived in any of the DP camps.

This first ever conference of childrenwho arrived in the DP camps after WorldWar II, as survivors, and of children whowere born in those DP camps will be heldin Israel in December.

The largest Jewish birth rate in theworld after World War II was in the DPcamps. These camps were set up inWestern Europe for the survivors of theHolocaust. The survivors were housedthere prior to immigrating to other countries to start a new life.

The Conference of Those Who WereChildren in DP Camps Including BabiesBorn There will be held on Mon., Dec. 21,9:30a.m. to 6:00p.m., at Tel Aviv University,Smolarz Auditorium, Ramat Aviv.

The conference is reaching out toinclude those children who lived in DPcamps in Germany, Austria, Italy andCypress. The conference has scheduledlectures, seminars and discussions on suchdiverse topics as:

• The relentless persistence of theHolocaust survivors, the parents, torebuild their own individual lives, and tocome together as a Jewish people.

• The largest baby boom in history thatoccurred in the DP camps, became a symbol of the revival of the Jewish people.

• The daily life in the DP camps.Initiated by the survivors themselves with the support of representatives from

Eretz Yisrael and international Jewishorganizations, the DP camps made available vocational training programs,Hebrew schools, religious education,and Yiddish theatre, along with otheropportunities for the young to reintegrateinto peacetime lives.

• Survivors played an important role inthe struggle for immigration to Palestine,before the founding of the State of Israel.

Participants in the conference areencouraged to bring along any photographs,documents, or other items of interest,which they have kept from their time inthe DP camps.

There will be round tables, designatedby the respective DP camps, giving participants a chance to find, and toreconnect with, old friends. AAAA

Cirque Dreams Holidazeis coming to IndianapolisCreated by Neil Goldberg

How does a young Orthodox Jewishboy grow up to become the producer ofone of today’s most popular Holiday StageSpectacles...Cirque Dreams Holidaze?

It began with Broadway for CirqueDreams creator and director Neil Goldbergwhen his mother took him to see TheMiracle Worker at age six. The experienceignited his early interest in the arts as he began molding cardboard shoe boxesinto stage sets. As his interests broadened,he added to his repertoire dance, piano,accordion, trumpet lessons and more. Asa teenager, most of his creative involve-ment was related to shul youth groups andJewish community centers enriching hisinspiration and aspiration for the arts.

On his way home from yeshiva as a young boy, Neil Goldberg began collecting ornaments and tinsel fromneighbors discarded Christmas trees after the holiday season. His intrigue was the color, sparkle and imagination of these trinkets.

Today, Neil Goldberg, founder and creator of Cirque Dreams Holidaze has anover 10,000 piece ornament collectionfrom his journeys throughout the world.“My parents were not fond of this hobbyat first, but when I found ornaments of dreidels, menorahs, Jewish stars and otherJudaica items, they too realized that I was

attracted to a unique art form that was not necessarily symbolic of religion butmore so appealed to my imagination”says Goldberg. “I would sit for hours onend staring at the detail, whimsy and construction of each ornament wonderingits origin, background and meaning.”

In 2008, after the success of CirqueDreams Jungle Fantasy on Broadway, NeilGoldberg decided to bring his ornamentcollection to life by reimagining ornamentsas costume characters inspired from his collection.

Cirque Dreams Holidaze is a show thatcelebrates the holiday season and piquesthe imagination of all ages.The productionis not focused on any one holiday. “Nomatter what religion, belief, or traditionpeople celebrate, most think of Novemberand December as ‘the most wonderful timeof the year’ as it encompasses an array ofmany holiday’s and celebratory occasions.”

Set in a landscape of gift boxes, toy soldiers, snowmen, candy canes and

other celebratory and winter imagery,the show is produced in the spirit ofeverything holidays.

“Whether it’s Thanksgiving, Chanukah,Christmas or New Years, there’s a commonthread to every holiday of family, traditionand appreciation,”says Goldberg.

Over 300 costumes come to life in songs like Winter Wonderland and areworn by 30 performers who fly throughthe air, bounce around the stage and perform feats of disbelief, transformingGoldberg’s ornament collection and theatrical expertise into a stage spectaclefor audiences everywhere.

This year, Cirque Dreams Holidaze isappearing in Indianapolis for the first time– at the Old National Centre, Dec.15–20. Now in its 7th touring season, ithas been seen by over 10 million peoplethroughout the country.

“I’m proud of my Jewish heritage,”saysGoldberg, who travels the world directing
