How much tolerance do we have?
Bolstered by the incredible fundraising success of the Museum of Tolerance in LA Jewish Federations are gearing up to erect similar structures. For example CJP in Boston is planning $40m museum above the Big Dig.
Samuel Freedman just published an article in The New York Times. "Gehry's Mideast peace plan hits some snags" declares Mr. Freedman. He continues:

Hier�s son, Alan (Avi) who is in charge of negotiations and planning for the Museum in Jerusalem: salary $134,417 + $16,710 benefits
Hier�s son Rabbi Aaron (Ari), director of the Jewish Studies Institute at the center: salary $86,092 + $8,976 benefits
Meanwhlie Jewish education in a state so eloquently described by Marvin Schick.
To build a comparable museum in Jerusalem is to risk touchy-feely na�vet� on the one hand or polarizing candor on the other. On the very day Schwarzenegger spoke of hopeful candles (at the opening), Palestinian gunmen ambushed an Israeli mother and four children.But let�s not forget what is at stake here. According to the Jewish Journal of LA Wiesenthal Center Annual budget is $32 million. Two capital funds campaigns, totaling $215 million, for its New York and Jerusalem Museums of Tolerance. In the same article is a reference to the 2003 IRS filings.
