org reported. He was 94.

Born Kazik Ratajzer in Warsaw in 1924, Rotem joined the
Warsaw Ghetto Jewish Combat Organization in 1942. He had
been a Zionist youth movement member and endured a bombing
of his family home by the Germans; the bombing wounded him
and his mother, while killing his brother and grandparents.

Rotem assisted his Warsaw comrades in escaping through the
city’s sewer system, later joining Nakam, a group of fighters who
sought revenge on Nazi war criminals.

He made aliyah to Israel in 1946 and managed a supermarket
chain, retiring in 1986.

Roseanne Barr to Speak at Knesset
Controversial actress and comedian Roseanne Barr is slated
to speak this month at the Knesset, saying she has “important
work to do as a voice against the insidious and anti-Semitic BDS
movement,” JTA reported.

The address is part of a tour organized by Rabbi Shmuley
Boteach’s World Values Network.

Barr said in a news release that she is “a lover of Israel” and
the country is an “oasis of openness, freedom, democracy and
tolerance amidst a desert of brutality from an age gone by.”

Barr had a tumultuous 2018, with her rebooted sitcom
Roseanne canceled (then revamped without her) after retweeting

Jewish Philly Podcast Episode 10:
Stars of ‘Matilda the Musical’

WE’RE WRAPPING UP 2018, beginning with a review of how Jewish communities fared this year, followed
by a conversation on the recent controversy surrounding a Temple University professor with Jewish Exponent
reporter Jesse Bernstein and, finally, we’re dig-
ging into the background on why Jews flock to
Chinese restaurants on Christmas.
Matilda the Musical is blowing up at the
Walnut Street Theatre this holiday season, and
we had a chance to interview two young Jewish
women who share the starring role, Ellie Biron
and Jemma Bleu Greenbaum. We sat down with
the starlets to discuss how they balance school
and their stage performances, why they love
being Jewish and we may have even gotten them
to sing one of their favorite songs from the show.
You can listen to the Jewish Philly podcast
