NFTY National Convention '05: A long trip for five great days

By Alexander Gold | March 8, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Shabbat services have just ended at the national convention of the North American Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY, pronounced like nifty). Everyone is dressed in their best dress clothes to celebrate the holiday. As the last few notes of the soft, melodic Shabbat melodies die out, I grab my folding chair along with 1,300 other NFTY kids and shove it into a massive pile.

Spreading the music past the Boulevard

It was during a particularly long, boring history class last year when juniors Jessi Douglas and Nick Warmington decided to produce a rap album together. The hour and a new block flew by as the two wrote their lyrics, matching them to beats and rapping them aloud.

Socialist Republic of Vietnam

By Fidan Karimova | March 7, 2005, midnight | In Print »

From first to sixth centuries AD, Vietnam was a part of the Indianised Kingdom of Funan. The Chinese covered the area in the second century and ruled for 1000 years. Their rule ended in 938 AD, when Ngo Quyen destroyed the Chinese armies and became the leader of the country. Quyen died in 944 AD. In 1858, the French and Spanish stormed into Vietnam and a year later captured Saigon. From then on, the French ruled Vietnam until 1954, when communist leader Ho Chi Minh helped drive the French out of Vietnam. The same year, the negotiations of the Geneva Accords divided Vietnam into two regions – South Vietnam, controlled mostly by the anti-communists, and the communist North Vietnam.
