Menachem Mendel Schneerson

illustrates that during the 1940s and 1950s, as more Lubavitch Jews moved into Crown Heights, the neighborhood changed from an upper class white neighborhood to a lower class Lubavitch and Black neighborhood. Although crime and assaults were being directed at Jews, the Lubavitchers still remained in Crown Heights because the head rabbi, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, had advised them to stay for various reasons. Despite the crimes and antisemitism, even more Jews moved into Crown Heights over the years. Crown Heights was one of the few American neighborhoods where Jews lived as a minority with Black people. This contradicted what people thought in regards to the relationship between Black and Jewish people because they were able to live near each other without too much conflict. On August 19, 1991, Rabbi Schneerson, the spiritual leader of the Lubavitch community in Crown Heights, went to visit a cemetery in Queens. He was accompanied by a police car as a means of protection since he was considered an important political figure. On the way back, four members of the Lubavitch community in a Grand Marquis station wagon joined Rabbi Schneerson and the police to provide extra protection. Gavin Cato, a seven year old son of Guyanese immigrants, was trying to repair his bicycle near his house on President Street. The Rabbi and the police were traveling towards President Street and as the third car with the four members were approaching the street, the traffic light had turned…

against Mitnagdim and Hasidim. Then there is the Altalena affair. Israel’s war of independence. The Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion attempted to take on five Arab states which started issues with Irgun, the militantly anti- British Jewish from underground led by Menachem. Nineteen Jewish lives were taken due to Altalena, a ship that was bound from france. Another conflict Israeli had was getting the acceptance of German reparations for the Holocaust. Between the independent Seamen's Union and…

As proven, Mendel’s theory is still followed today rather than Lysenko’s. Mendel tested how the different characteristics of a seed can be crossbred and allows the outcome to have the strong genes of both parent’s and is able to reproduce at a higher rate. For example, “Mendel crossed a plant that produces a round seed with a plant which produces a curving, Y-shaped seed, and in each and every one of the resulting plants the seeds were round. In the next generation, however, in which only these…

Gregor Mendel was the first person to make connections between parents and children by using math symbols. He made the set of laws which are now known as the three laws of inheritance. This set of laws consists of the Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment. To begin, the first law of inheritance is the Law of Dominance. This law states that genes come in pairs and are inherited in different units called alleles. In a situation with one dominant allele and…

ave you ever wonder how we our genes tells how we look, talk, what race we are this is all based on Genetics. In this essay we are going to talk about how Heritable/genetic trait, Dominant vs recessive genes, and mutation affects us and how it affects people with these genes. Without genes we will all look the same so rather i think that genes aren’t important they are very important. Heritable/Genetic traits are very important to us because these are the genes that we get from our parents. A…

Drosophila Paper Discussion Portion Discussion The hypothesis was supported during the experiment. We originally hypothesized that if parental strains of stock D. melanogaster were mated, the ratios of the phenotypes in the F1 generation would be completely random and follow the laws of segregation and independent assortment. Under such assumption, the 3 genes examined in this experiment would not be linked, and the final observed number of F1 flies with each phenotype would equal the expected…

Herritability estimates is the ratio to which a certain trait or behavior is found to be from the genes in one's body or from the environment. My description can be backed up from the textbook Life-Span Human Development 7th Edition, by Carol Sigelman. On page 85 on the textbook, it states that "it has been proven difficult to find a human characteristic that is not to some degree heritable. Genes often account for up to half of the variations of the group." On page 86 of the textbook it also…

The Drosophila melanogaster, also known as the fruit fly, was the primary research subject for Thomas Morgan. In 1910, Morgan used the fruit fly as an experiment to discover new mutations which could represent new species. Using the flies to research about heredity gave way to Gregor Mendel’s confirmation of his Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance which suggests that the chromosomes are the carriers of genetic information. The sex of the fly is important when culturing Drosophila and making…

Ectodermal Dysplasia Jonathan Moon American Fork Junior High A2 2/24/17 Abstract Ectodermal Dysplasia is a group of conditions that interfere with the normal functions of skin, hair, nails, teeth or sweat glands. These abnormalities cause various issues with everyday activities such as eating, brushing hair, exercising, and blinking. This paper will explain how this disease occurs, its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Causes of ED Ectodermal Dysplasia, or ED, is a genetic disorder that…

Ivan pavlov was born in Rtazan,Russia in 1849. His father was a priest and wanted Ivan to become a priest as well( Famous scientists.org,2016) . His father's name was Peter Dmitrievich Pavlov, and his mother's name was Varvara Ivanovna Uspenskaya(Ivan Pavlov,2016). Ivan was one of eleven children, Ivan was the eldest sibling in the group(Ivan Pavlov,2016). As a young boy he spent a lot of time in the garden, which got him interested in science(). He attended Ryazan Ecclesiastical high school;…
