ORCHARD LAKE ORCHARD LAKE Leypsa and Rabbi Irwin Groner "Faith makes all things possible; love makes all things easy, ham- varach mitbarach. He who blesses others, shall be blessed." Tonight, you have blessed Rabbi Groner with your presence, love, and respect for him on this special day. He thanks you from the bottom of his heart and wishes the congregation all of God's blessings. As it is said in the Talmud: devarim sheyotzim min haler; nichnasim el halay. Which translates to "words that are spoken from the heart, enter the heart." In that spirit, the congregation joins me as I invoke the same ancient priestly blessings, which you, Dad, have invoked upon so many over the years. Yivarechecha [HaShem] viyeesh- mitment and the trial-and-error process began to produce results. Today, Sede Boker hosts international students pur- suing graduate degrees in desert studies, researching topics from climate-sensitive agriculture to algae cultivation in the deserts and who bring their know-how back to their own countries where they • can become leaders in their field. It has long been noted that human- ity's most acute problems do not rate coverage in the media, presumably because people are too weary to hear about the pathologies of starvation, poverty and ecological devastation. The solutions to these problems have an even harder time generating headlines. In response to the severity of the situ- ation in much of the world's drylands, the United Nations declared 2006 to be the International Year of Deserts and Desertification, charging all countries in the world to raise international aware- ness about the issue. But the declaration hardly made it onto the back pages of the world's newspapers. The conference at Sede Boker sent a message to Israelis and to the 35 WOODWARD S. , 12 MILE mirech — may God bless you and keep you. Yaer [HaShem] panav alecha veec- hune — may God cause his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. Yeesa [HaShem] panav alecha viyasaym licha shalom — may God lift his countenance upon you and grant you peace, peace in the midst of a world at peace, now and always; and let us say, amen. We love you, Dad. Happy birthday.

Israel is not only internationally newsworthy as a focal point for Middle Eastern turbulence. It would be a bet- ter world that acknowledged that the tiny Jewish state has tackled one of the planet's key ecological problems and succeeded like no other country in the region. The conference in Sede Boker took place a few hundred meters from David Ben-Gurion's stark and powerful grave on the edge of the cliff overlooking the Zim wilderness. Yet it offers an even more compelling, living memorial to the "old man's" ideals. Lii is often available on a favorable basis to people who have survived cancer.
