At NETWORK: Research by Design we know that people with
graduate degrees, whether they are still in school or out in the world
enjoying the privileges an advanced degree brings, are very busy people.
We also know that meeting people can be very difficult due to lack of
time.
Research by Design is a networking tool created for quality
people. If you have an advanced degree (Master Degree, Ph.D., Doctor,
Lawyer, Dentist, etc.) or are in pursuit of one, this is a network for you!
It is a tool to use however it will benefit you most. Reach out to an
international membership and find someone doing research in the same
area as you, locate a tutor, find a lifetime partner, recruit employees or
receive recruitment offers, seek advice, share a hobby etc., or just
correspond with interesting people of high caliber.

money.
The FBI was not impressed.
Federal agents got wind of
news that the Temple of Love
was a cult with stockpiled
weapons. Yahweh Ben Yahweh
himself was up to questionable
activities. They decided to move
in.
Jurors eventually convicted
Yahweh Ben Yahweh in the plan-
ning of arson and one or two
homicides. Today, he is in a max-
imum-security prison in Penn-
sylvania, where he is said to be a
model inmate.

L

ittle Torah wants a home.
Children in Mr. Weil's reli-
gious school want a Sefer
Torah.
The Tattooed Torah (UAHC
Press), by Marvell Ginsburg and
illustrated by Martin Lemelman,
is the story of a small Torah scroll
from Brno, Czechoslovakia. It be-
comes "tattooed" after the Nazis
come to power, mark it with a
number and throw it into a ware-
house.
After the war, Little Torah sat
for many years in a London syn-
agogue. Then a little boy in Amer-
ica approached his father with
the request, "I can't lift the Torah
at services. It's too heavy for me!"
The boy's father, Mr. Weil, gees
to London where he finds Little
Torah. He decides to bring it back
to the United States.
"May it dwell forever in this
house of love and learning," Mr.
Weil says, as Little Torah is wel-
comed to its new home.
Mrs. Ginsburg is director of
early childhood Jewish education
for the board of Jewish education
in Chicago; Mr. Lemelman has
illustrated for such publications
as Sesame Street and the New
York Times Book Review.
Also new for children is A
Wilderness Passover (North-
ern Lights) by Kathleen Cook

Waldron and illustrat-
ed by Leslie Gould. InA
Wilderness Passover, a
family living in a small
clearing in the woods
prepares for Pesach in a
unique way.
They have no matzah
but, "We have flour and
water," the father says.
"We could bake our own
matzah. Like our an-
cestors did in Egypt."
They have no bitter
herb until Susan sug-
gests, "How about a
dandelion root?"
Slowly, the family
manages to prepare —
but not quite — every-
thing for the seder table.
As they sit down for a
meal, neighbors sur-
prise them with a deli-
cious salad, fresh
strawberries and a
horseradish root.

A

man who helped build up
one of Boston's favorite
stores was a "chronically
sickly" child who spent
more than a year in bed, who
loved books and who suffered
throughout his life with eczema.
His name was Edward Filene (of
Filene's Basement fame.)
The lives of the Filenes, the
Gimbels, the Marcuses and oth-
er great Jewish store founding gi-
ants is told in Leon Harris'
Merchant Princes (Kodansha).
All started with nothing. All
were characters.
In 1946 in France, Stanley
(Marcus of the Dallas-based
Neiman-Marcus) was introduced
to Dwight Eisenhower, then com-
manding general of allied forces
in Europe. It was a time when
Harry Truman still hoped the
general might someday run for
the presidency as a Democrat and
some Republicans hoped to con-
vince the carefully uncommitted
soldier to run as a Republican.
Stanley's concern, however, was
not with party. Although the old
soldier had until then never heard
of the store, Stanley urged him:
"If you do decide to go for the nom-
ination, and get it, and if you are
elected, I hope that as an ex-Tex-
an, you will buy Mrs. Eisenhow-
er's inaugural gown from us." Six
years later Eisenhower did just
that.
