• Pay to Pray ; Are Nj Tax Exemptions for Religious Institutions Fair?

IT'S JUST not fair. In New Jersey, there is a very unfair distribution of tax-exempt properties, whereby the rich re-tax the poor. A few, less well-to-do communities bear a huge burden of tax charity for the benefit of the better-off majority. About 13 percent of New Jersey's property values are tax-exempt, including churches, charities, universities, schools, public parks, government buildings and cemeteries.

• Plots of Gold

For California paperchanger Mark Specht, the moment of truth in his long-running fight with a Jewish burial society based in the Lower East Side came a few weeks ago in a tense meeting in the offices of the New York State Attorney General For the past four years, Specht has been battling in and out of court with the Lanzuter Benevolent Association over allegations thatthe organization has not fulfilled its mission to finance the costs of funerals for its members, and has instead warehoused hundreds of grave sites in New York and New Jersey, and even misappropriated money.

LITTLE FERRY -- The lives of African-Americans who called Bergen County home in the 19th and 20th centuries, and their contributions to the community, will be recounted as part of tours to be held Saturday at the historic Gethsemane Cemetery. The organized tours will be the first since the county's Juneteenth celebration four months ago. Officials hope to draw attendees who are interested in learning more about the people buried in the one-acre plot, which is listed in the state and national historic registers.

• Annual Adl Audit: Anti-Semitic Incidents Decline in 2005 but Levels Still of Concern in U.S.

NEW YORK, April 5 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Despite a slight decline, the number of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States remained at disturbing levels in 2005, according to newly issued statistics from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The League's annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, issued today, reported a total of 1,757 anti- Semitic incidents in 2005, a 3 percent decline from 2004. While any decline is encouraging, we remain concerned because too many people continue to act out their anti-Jewish hatred," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "We have always said that America is different, that the Jewish communities here are fortunate to be largely immune from the kind of anti-Semitic violence experienced by some European Jewish communities. The numbers remain sobe...
