Name:

And let us say, Amen.

Q: What does "Amen" mean?
A: It means, literally, "So be it."

Mentioned 30 times in the
Bible, "Amen" is used as a re-
sponse to hearing a prayer or
bracha, blessing (so there's no
need to say the word after recit-
ing your own prayers).
Using "Amen" is a Jewish tra-
dition that Christians have
adopted. Muslims also — but
much more rarely — use the
word in public worship.

Q: Why is it that some people say
"West Bank" and others use
"Judea" and "Samaria"?

nice Jewish boy from New York
would become one of the world's
leading matadors?
Born in 1903 in Brooklyn,
Sidney Frumkin (he later
changed it to Franklin) was
the first non-Latin to become
a prominent bullfighter.
He became interested in the
sport while living in Mexico
City, later studying with
world-famous matador Rodol-
fo Gaona. In 1929, Franklin
made his debut in Spain;
that same year, he met hard-
drinking, he-man author
Ernest Hemingway, for whom
the bull-fighting love bell also
tolled. The two became good
friends, with Hemingway
writing in Death in the After-
noon that Franklin was "one of
the most skillful, graceful and
slow manipulators of the cape
in his day."
Franklin retired from the
ring in 1959, and found work
as a broadcaster in Mexico City.
His autobiography, Bullfight-
er from Brooklyn, was pub-
lished in 1952.

Q: How did Yad Vashem, the
Holocaust memorial and research
center in Israel, get its name?
A: From the Bible. Isaiah 56:5

states, "Even unto them will
give in my house and within
my walls a monument and a
memorial better than sons and
daughters; I will give them an
everlasting memorial that
shall not be cut off." The phrase,
"monument and memorial" in
Hebrew is yad vashem.
