Illegal drug use also presents the potential for arrest and prosecution. Although the likelihood is small, the price would be huge. Were I incarcerated, I am sure someone would send me an email message with a file attached, and I could file my way out. Even so, spending time in th…

In my view, this particular application of the “devar hadash” principle is a problem, since in the public’s eye gelatin is always viewed as an animal-derived product.

…w up in a Kibbutz. After high school, Dganit volunteered in establishing a new Kibbutz in the north of Israel, which was followed by military service. Dganit then traveled with her husband-to-be, traversing Southeast Asia, in a physically difficult, but emotionally rewarding experience that would last two and a half years.

The headline story in mid-August (2009) of the Swedish daily Aftonbladen…
