Dear Abby: Once I announced my engagement, my already thin, fit mother went on a diet and lost 20 pounds. My weight has always been an issue with her.

JERUSALEM (AP) — An electrifying new documentary series on the problematic integration of Middle Eastern Jews by Israel's European founders in the 1950s has reopened old wounds of an ethnic divide within Judaism ahead of the country's 70th anniversary festivities. While Israel is marking the anniversary by highlighting its prosperity and successes, the country is still wrestling with divisions — and not only between Jews and Arabs.

He quickly offered a familiar lament: He was less than thrilled with the nonchalant way the Warriors handled the basketball, even if they won by 21 points. Читать дальше...
