On Thursday, Rabbi Menachem Youlus, the self-described "Jewish Indiana Jones," entered a guilty plea in a Manhattan federal court to defrauding a charity he founded of $862,000.
He faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison and will also be required to pay restitution to the victims of his offense, and to forfeit more than $862,000, the proceeds of his crimes. Sentencing is scheduled to occur on June 21.
"Menachem Youlus concocted an elaborate tale of dramatic Torah rescues undertaken by a latter-day movie hero that exploited the profound emotions attached to one of the most painful chapters in world history - the Holocaust - in order to make a profit. Today's guilty plea is a fitting conclusion to his story and he will now be punished for his brazen fraud," wrote Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District in New York.
Youlus, a Baltimore resident, who owns a Jewish book store in Wheaton, also ran a charity called "Save A Torah, Inc.
Which will be published by Fourth Estate in March 2012. It is a passionate and entertaining guide to spotting and decoding the delusions we live under – from ‘revolutionary’ plus-size models to ‘world-saving’ organic vegetables; from heavily scripted and edited ‘reality’ TV to ‘life-changing’ iPhone apps. Busting the jargon and unravelling the spin, Get Real reveals the secrets about modern life that we were never supposed to know. It’s an insider’s guide to
understanding the present which puts the truth and the power to choose firmly in our hands. Only by telling it like it is can we improve – and maybe even save – our world for real.
She will discuss it with PR guru Julia Hobsbawm. Their conversation promises to be very lively! And of course we are not putting any spin on either her book or her talk!...
News on the Iran front is getting more and more complicated. I am not referring to the situation at Iran’s nuclear facilities but to the one here in Washington, where Congress, deep into election-year fundraising and thinking about the March AIPAC policy conference, is crafting yet another sanctions bill. There is no reason to go into the details. But suffice it to say, this new set of sanctions, like the rest, will primarily hurt ordinary Iranians, not the government. As one Iranian citizen, writing under a pseudonym, described the situation this week in the New York Daily News :
These days, ordinary Iranians like my mother are becoming increasingly aware of a new economic reality in their lives. Sanctions already in place have plunged the country’s economy into a crisis; more robust sanctions that will be enacted come spring on our financial system and oil trade will cause even more pain for an already-suffering populace.
Isn’t life in Iran difficult enough under the regime of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei? Why punish ordinary people more?

In the Discussion of Jesus, Jews Should Go on Offense
Second, the book argues that the light of Judaism has permeated the world but is seldom given credit for doing so. Hence, Jews rarely take pride in their tradition. They see how huge Christianity is compared to how tiny we are when the truth is that ...
