you will be preventing the blooming of judaism in san francisco. the rabbi does not accept students is by looking at their applications, which is what is done in most other schools. he evaluates every person as an individual. thanks to this, the school has been very successful and the students are taught with an emphasis on good citizenship. this makes the behavior of the students immaculate and we as people need to be raised as valuable members of society. many families can not send their kids to any other school. where will these families cutbacks please -- where will these families go? please ask yourself these questions. thank you. >> hello. in the mother of two children -- i am the mother of two children attending the academy. i have the following concerns of the antenna placement. the reasons why i am voicing my opposition to the proposed cell tower installation is as solid. it was built in 1920. ," series concerns about its earthquake resistance -- i have serious concerns about its earthquake resistance. the battery and associated equipment

i received what i considered, in san francisco, a very excellent education in judaism, as did my parents and grandparents. i am the third generation here. as have mike children and grandchildren, a jewish education. it is distinctly possible in san francisco. i am also very familiar with the basically two major waves of russian immigration in some francisco. my business was in the richmond district. i interfaced with many of them, as well as with the orthodox community, for that matter, and worked with the jewish community center in their outreach to the russian immigrant population as it came to san francisco. what dismays me, and what i asked for someone from the bureau of jewish education to speak is when to institutions that are sitting side by side have basically everything in common, whether it be education or religion -- they have failed. this is not an all of a sudden deal. they have had a lot of time to get together. and they obviously are not talking. and that bothers me greatly. i am not a scientist. i cannot tell you absolutely about anything. no one has proven to me it does

mormonism is exempt from taxes on expenditures, exactly as are other religions like catholicism, judaism, hinduism. that tax-exempt status is a further guarantee that mar mannism is a religion and tax- free in its expenditures. not what a cult gets, by way of being tax-free. item, no polygamy! one man and one woman, not one man and many women, as used to define marriage in mormonism. the mormon church outlawed, in fapolygamy in 1904. question, will mitt romney's mormonism diminish his chance to become u.s. president? >> i think some christians may have a problem with it. but frankly, between the book of mormon being a huge success on broadway, a mormon church ad campaign about i'm am i mormon with posters on the side of buses, the big love series on hb, it's cool these days to be a mormon, and i think it's taken some of these entertainment shows have taken some of the mystery out of mormonism, so i think broadly speaking in the general election, it would be no problem for mitt romney. >> is the plan broadway -- more mormonism in defense of mormonism? >> it's a comedy! musical comedy. >>

people even back to the bible being matthew twenty five the foundational concepts of christianity of judaism you know it's restated matthew twenty five care for the homeless care for the hungry feed the hungry heal the sick this is fundamental stuff thomas paine laid out in his book agrarian justice he actually proposed a social security system. thomas paine in the seven hundred ninety s. lipper our country was first being found thomas paine proposed social security proposed a minimum wage proposed equivalent of unionization proposed that every person upon earth should have some basic fundamental amount of money allocated to them that they could use throughout their lives but there would be a decent retirement and it's really quite extraordinary most of the things that came along with the new deal thomas paine proposed and seventeen the occupy wall street movement for example the ultimate example of a we society free books free health care free food people working together and if you look at the republican budget you find the exact opposite the republican budget is all about a nice society m

because that is what judaism will tell you, as well. do right, and do wrong. unfortunately some people do wrong in the name of religion but given the state of the rule today fewer people are being killed by war today than in any other time in the last 500 years. >> what does that say to you? what does that mean? >> it's only means that we shouldn't say that given the situation in the world today people are giving up on god. given the situation in the world today people should feel better about god. >> i think religion has always been flawed. people have done horrific things even slive ry in the country, how we treat women, the things we believe that people do in the name of faith have been or pli damaging. that is why we come to faith individually. >> with regard to religion and killing each other with wars, 11 million muslims have been killed since 1948. 90% have been killed by the muslims so it is same religion killing same religion as radicallism. >> i think extremism is a problem and most certainly a problem when it comes to religio

to educate for formation in faith but they do allow other non-christian students students of islam judaism humanistic it's a form student organizations and meet on campus so i asked my guest jesse gallop and occasions director of the secular student alliance why he and his fellow student atheists are itching their belief system as a religion. why not just push it to them hey you know we have a belief system our belief system is we're not sure about that god we're not sure about any gods but it's our belief system and that qualifies it as a religion and in fact some of us are even evangelical we're all trying to spread it and so you know this call is a religion and give us our damn club. well we don't consider ourselves religious and atheism isn't usually considered a religion but it has come up when the schools tried to send a student group to the campus ministry for approval it's much more appropriate to send the student groups to say lost the department something like that because it's more about discussing these things and promoting a safe community for these issues to be discussed and

-- growth of a real connection between fundamentalism and judaism in the last 30 years. i travel a lot and inevitably, when i go to the small towns they say, well, the christians here are the best friends that israel has. and there is a fascination here with israel. the israeli councilor -- consulate has a special office in atlanta to take care of demand for these trips to israel. people have urged for curriculum to be created. i have a job as a foundation giving money away in israel. i made it 25 trips to israel over the last 30 years. it was amazing to see the fundamentalists coming in. and it would ask questions like, is that the real place that jesus stood? and pretty soon, they kept digging down in jerusalem until they could guarantee it really was the real place. this connection on a home town level is really interesting. i remember a guy who said to me that his best friend had caution him, as i was caution as a boy, that you have to convert or you are going to hell. he was a childhood friend who really cared about me. i was done because we knew each other so well,

one of the interesting things to me is the growth of a real connection between fundamentalism and judaism in the last 30 years. i travel a lot and inevitably, when i go to the small towns they say, well, the christians here are the best friends that israel has. and there is a fascination here with israel. the israeli consulate has a special office in atlanta to take care of demand for these trips to israel. people have urged for curriculum to be created. i have a job as a foundation giving money away in israel. i made it 25 trips to israel over the last 30 years. it was amazing to see the fundamentalists coming in. and it would ask questions like, is that the real place that jesus stood? and pretty soon, they kept digging down in jerusalem until they could guarantee it really was the real place. this connection on a home town level is really interesting. i remember a guy who said to me that his best friend had caution him, as i was caution as a boy, that you have to convert or you are going to hell. he was a childhood friend who really cared about me. i was done because we knew each other
