Jewishness

Congenital deficiency of Factor XI is a relatively rare coagulopathy that has been reported as both an autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive trait. This deficiency state occurs predominantly in the Jewish population. Most patients with this deficiency state remain asymptomatic until trauma or surgery is encountered. Spontaneous hemorrhage is rare in this population.

Fermi s wife, Laura, was Jewish, and as Hitler s influence over Mussolini intensified, anti-Jewish laws were passed that made Laura s remaining in Italy precarious. Alter accepting his Nobel Prize in Stockholm, Fermi and his wife took a ship directly to the United States, where they would spend the rest of their lives. Enrico taught at Columbia University in New York City from 1939 to 1942, and at the University of Chicago from 1942 until his death in 1954. 

In a 1959 lecture at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, Lise Meitner reflected that Life need not be easy, provided that it is not empty. Life was not easy for any Jewish woman scientist in Germany in the first half of the twentieth century, and Meitner certainly had her own experience in mind when she made this statement. 

Lise Meitner grew up in the Vienna of Emperor Franz-Josef and horsedrawn trolley cars. She was born there in 1878 into a well-to-do Jewish family and decided at an early age that she wanted to be a scientist like Madame Curie. (Later Albert Einstein would call her the German Madame Curie. ) In 1901, she entered the University of Vienna. There, where serious women students were considered odd, she was treated rudely by many of her fellow students. In 1905 she was only the second woman in the university s history to receive a Pli.D. in science. 

People keep saying, Well, you re Italian, how do you do Jewish Mr. Scotto, an Italian American from Brooklyn, said on Wednesday. Mr. Scotto was wearing a Big Ralph s Brake Shop baseball cap and a Ducati shirt. 

But cocktails are part of the plan. Wolf s Royal Cream Soda is good, if you like cream soda (I do). For the record, it s kosher, too. The production of Absolut is supervised by Rabbi Moshe Edelmann in Sweden. Dr. Brown s Cream Soda, which originated in 1869 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, bears the KOF-K certificate of rabbinical supervision. Dr. Brown s drinks, including cherry soda and Cel-Ray Soda, a seltzer produced with celery seed, were most popular in Jewish delis before Coca-Cola became kosher, early in the 1930s. 

For the kabbalist, the secret name of God, known as the Tetra-grammaton, was the source of power. Pico della Mirandola in his Conclusiones Nonogentae (1482) had first attempted to interpret the Jewish kabbalistic texts in Christian terms.It was Reuchlin, however. 

To these ancient identities was added in due course the historical Jesus.It was the apostle Paul who established the dehnitive Christian dogma concerning the nature of Christ. His account recalls the role of the ancient Iranian and Jewish Saviour figure (although the exact relationship to the pagan elements is the subject of serious contention on the part of Christian theology).

Understanding fusion invites another question If fusing nuclei releases energy, how did the early atomic bombs work In those bombs, nuclei were not fused, they were broken apart by nuclear fission. So, where does the energy of atomic bombs come from An important piece of the answer came from a brilliant Jewish scientist who fled Nazi Germany shortly before World War II.
