Temple Shalom not alone in challenges: Norwood temple moves
A brief piece in today’s Boston Globe caught our attention.
Evidently, Temple Shalom is not the only religious organization on the south of Boston that is facing financial challenges stemming from, in part, from a shrinking congregation. Milton’s Baptist church moved out of town a couple of months ago.
Shaare Tefilah of Norwood has recently moved to a new space at the Solomon Schecter Day School in Norwood. Their property was sold to the Jain Center of Greater Boston. From the Jain Center web site:
Jainism is a religion and a way of life.
For thosands of years, Jains have been practicing vegatarianism, yoga, meditation and environmentalism. Jains believe in the existence of eternal and devine SOUL in each living being. (You can find the Jain Center web site here.)

Nuclear Free World

A Senior Seminar Editorial by Julie Mitchell, MHS 2010
A recent article in the Boston Globe pointed out that North Korea performed their second testing of nuclear missiles. Though nuclear missiles were first introduced by the United States in August 1945, countries have been perfecting their own model of destructive nuclear missiles. These countries view nuclear missiles not only as a defense mechanism to protect their country, but the answer to end wars. In order to make a nuclear free world, the United Nations needs to take action into creating a long term strategy.
Though the world does not want to face a global nuclear war, countries are racing to build and test nuclear missiles. The race towards nuclear missiles is predominantly seen in North Korea, as the country is a leading manufacturer and supplier of nuclear missiles to other countries. This should serve as a red flag to the United Nations, to take action in shortening North Korea’s production of KN-02 rockets. The United Nations should try to prevent North Korea or any country from manufacturing future productions of deadly nuclear missiles. On July 4th, North Korea started their first missile testing, launching both seven short and medium ranged missiles into the Sea of Japan. Unfortunately, the first missile maneuver was a success. However, this is just the beginning of North Korea’s missile testing for supposedly training exercises. This past weekend North Korea frightened the world, vigorously continuing its missile testing and classifying it as just routine. However, this second testing should have alerted the United Nations to take more aggressive action into forming a strategy to make North Korea a nuclear free country. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated, “Our goals remain the same. We intend to work toward a nuclear – free Korean Peninsula.” This proves that action is being taken to hopefully put an end to future missile maneuvers in North Korea and forming a nuclear free country.
