Dr. Uma Mysorekar, Hindu Temple Society of North America
Intricately carved, broad and made of stone, the Hindu Temple rises majestically, if surprisingly, over the small, detached houses of Bowne Street in Flushing, Queens. The temple's gate is always open, welcoming regulars and visitors seven days a week, from early morning until night. Up decorated steps, across a courtyard where shoes are neatly set aside, and through the front door, the temple opens up into a large rectangular space for devotion. Acts of art and beauty abound. Fresh flower garlands made by priests and devotees adorn the prayer areas. Floral rangoli designs made with brightly colored rice flour embellish floors throughout the temple, protecting its sacred spaces from evil influences. Painted scenes from Hindu cosmology convey meaning as they ornament the walls. Yet, the temple is more than a place for prayer. It is also an important cultural and community center and a magnet for Hindus from throughout the tri-state area. It's a beehive of activity, with committees of volunteers directing and managing, mediating problems, coordinating youth programs, raising funds, decorating, and so on.
All week long, group activities, performances, and classes take place to entertain participants, enhance devotion, and transmit cultural traditions; language instruction in Hindi and Sanskrit; religious instruction in Hinduism, Vedas, and meditation; and classical and folk dance styles - all are offered, as are the mundane yet critical trappings of the workaday world, such as college-admission prep courses. Many classes and performances take place in the basement rooms and stage area, where the gift shop also is located. Behind the temple is the yagna kunda, a space for ritual that is reserved for priests. In the 1990s, the temple's growing prestige encouraged its leadership to add new spaces. Next door, its posh, three-floor Hindu Community Center, designed in a nondescript style more indigenous to Queens (though with granite imported from India), includes a large auditorium and stage, a canteen serving vegetarian meals whose long hours match the temple's, a dining hall and conference room, and a spacious wedding hall, the kalyana mantapam, for marriages and large events.
Dr. Uma Mysorekar founded the temple in 1977. Born and raised in Bangalore, Karnataka State, India, Mysorekar studied medicine at the University of Bombay, where she was awarded the gold medal for academic excellence. She came to the United States in 1970 and, until she retired, practiced obstetrics and gynecology in New York City. She has been involved in helping the handicapped through Heart and Hand for the Handicapped since 1976 and served as its president in 1978-79. She pioneered fundraising for Aid to the Disabled, Orphaned and Poor (ADOP) under the auspices of the Hindu Temple Society of North America. She has contributed substantially toward the construction of a hostel for poor working women in Bangalore, India. As president of the Hindu Temple Society of North America, Dr. Mysorekar has initiated programs to bring the community together, including spiritual, educational, and cultural activities. She has initiated interfaith meetings and spoken at numerous functions to increase public understanding of Hinduism. In addition, she organized joint program and provides space for many of the other ethnic communities in the neighborhood.

ArtChangeUS Arts in a Changing America—New York—11amET 115pmET—Mon Oct 26 2015
ArtChangeUS: Arts in a Changing America is a new, five-year initiative that seeks to explore and understand the dramatic demographic transformation of the United States and its profound impact on arts and culture. This effort, led by Roberta Uno and based out of the California Institute of the Arts, is creating a vast network of relevant organizations, artists, scholars, idea producers, and resource people across sectors to reframe the national arts conversation at the intersection of arts and social justice. Through a carefully curated series of special events, performances, presentations and conferences, ArtChangeUS will serve as an urgently needed catalyst that brings unheard, leadership voices in the arts to the forefront of social discourse, arts production, and community change.
ArtChangeUS’s goals embed the project at the nexus of arts and social equity. They are to:
Reframe the arts conversation to understand and respond to the cultural assets of demographic change;
Catalyze and make visible relevant, innovative artistic work and forward thinking arts practices;
Create opportunities for artists, organizers, and thinkers to connect across sectors in order to introduce new perspectives and collaborative possibilities.
ArtChangeUS has two primary programs:
ArtChangeUS Remap is a major high visibility gathering on arts and changing demographics, its pilot program will launch October 26th, 2015 at the Ford Foundation, New York City.
ArtChangeUS@, is a series of curated, ongoing performances/talks/workshops/interventions at arts and non-arts organizations throughout the United States.

Over the past half century, the U.S. has been profoundly reshaped by demographic and cultural change. We remain plunged into endless culture wars.

Flushing, Queens
Flushing is a neighborhood in the north-central part of the New York City borough of Queens, in the United States. While much of the neighborhood is residential, Downtown Flushing, centered on the northern end of Main Street, is a large commercial and retail area and is the fourth largest central business district in New York City.
Flushing's diversity is reflected by the numerous ethnic groups that reside there, including people of Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, European, and African American ancestry. It is part of the Fifth Congressional District, which encompasses the entire northeastern shore of Queens County, and extends into neighboring Nassau County. Flushing is served by five railroad stations on the Long Island Rail Road Port Washington Branch, as well as the New York City Subway's IRT Flushing Line, which has its terminus at Main Street. The intersection of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue is the third busiest intersection in New York City, behind Times and Herald Squares.

SUMMARY
=======
Hinduism is a minority religion in the United States. The vast majority of American Hindus are immigrants from South Asia (mainly India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, some from Bhutan, Maldives, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Myanmar), Indonesia (mainly Bali and Java), the Caribbean (mainly Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, and Jamaica), Fiji, Africa (mainly Southern Africa and Eastern African), and Mauritius and other countries and their descendants. Additionally, the United States has a number of converts to Hinduism. There are also about 900 ethnic Cham people of Vietnam, living in America. 55% of whom are Hindus. They are one of the few remaining non-Indic Hindus in the World.While there were isolated sojourns by Hindus in the United States during the 19th century, Hindu presence in the United States was extremely limited until the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
Currently, Hindu-Americans hold the highest education levels among all religious communities in the United States. This is mostly due to strong US immigration policies that favor educated and highly skilled migrants. Many concepts of Hinduism, such as karma, reincarnation and yoga, have entered into mainstream American vernacular. According to Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life survey of 2009, 24% of Americans believe in reincarnation, a core concept of Hinduism.
New Netherland
New Netherland (Dutch: Nieuw-Nederland, Latin: Nova Belgica or Novum Belgium) was a 17th-century colonial province of the Seven United Netherlands that was located on the East Coast of North America. The claimed territories extended from the Delmarva Peninsula to extreme southwestern Cape Cod, while the more limited settled areas are now part of the Mid-Atlantic States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Connecticut, with small outposts in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.
The colony was conceived as a private business venture to exploit the North American fur trade. During its first decades, New Netherland was settled rather slowly, partially as a result of policy mismanagement by the Dutch West India Company (WIC) and partially as a result of conflicts with Native Americans. The settlement of New Sweden encroached on its southern flank, while its northern border was re-drawn to accommodate an expanding New England. During the 1650s, the colony experienced dramatic growth and became a major port for trade in the North Atlantic. The surrender of Fort Amsterdam to England in 1664 was formalized in 1667, contributing to the Second Anglo–Dutch War. In 1673, the Dutch re-took the area but relinquished it under the Second Treaty of Westminster ending the Third Anglo-Dutch War the next year.

Sikh Coalition's Amardeep Singh Interview: State of Belief September 22, 2012
An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.
Despite a surge in bias attacks against the Sikh community in the United States since 9/11, the Justice Department still refuses to gather data specific to this community. On Capitol Hill this week, Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois convened a hearing on behalf of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights to look into domestic extremism and hate crimes. Interfaith Alliance was honored to be invited to contribute written testimony for the hearing.
The hearing included survivors of the Oak Creek Temple shooting. Joining Welton this week is Amardeep Singh, co-founder and director of programs for the Sikh Coalition, to share what the coalition is doing to finally get hate crime statistics gathered -- and addressed, as well as to demand closer scrutiny of homegrown extremism in the US.

SUMMARY
=======
The history of the Jews in Iraq (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים בָּבְלִים, Babylonian Jews, Yehudim Bavlim, Arabic: اليهود العراقيون al-Yahūd al-ʿIrāqiyyūn), is documented from the time of the Babylonian captivity c. 586 BC. Iraqi Jews constitute one of the world's oldest and most historically significant Jewish communities.
The Jewish community of Babylon included Ezra the scribe, whose return to Judea in the late 6th century BC is associated with significant changes in Jewish ritual observance and the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem. The Talmud was compiled in Babylonia, identified with modern Iraq.From the Babylonian period to the rise of the Islamic caliphate, the Jewish community of Babylon thrived as the center of Jewish learning. The Mongol invasion and Islamic discrimination in the Middle Ages led to its decline. Under the Ottoman Empire, the Jews of Iraq fared better. The community established modern schools in the second half of the 19th century. Driven by persecution, which saw many of the leading Jewish families of Baghdad flee for the Indian subcontinent, and expanding trade with British colonies the Jews of Iraq established a trading diaspora in Asia known as the Baghdadi Jews.In the 20th century, Iraqi Jews played an important role in the early days of Iraq's independence. Between 1950–52, 120,000–130,000 of the Iraqi Jewish community (around 75%) reached Israel in Operation Ezra and Nehemiah.The religious and cultural traditions of Iraqi Jews are still kept alive today in by strong communities now established in the State of Israel, especially in Or Yehuda, Givyatayim and Kiryat Gat. As of 2014 more than 229,900 Israelis were of Iraqi Jewish descent. Smaller communities upholding Iraqi Jewish traditions in the Jewish Diaspora exist in Britain, Australia, Singapore, Canada and the United States.

SUMMARY
=======
A Hindu temple is a symbolic house, seat and body of god. It is a structure designed to bring human beings and gods together, using symbolism to express the ideas and beliefs of Hinduism. The symbolism and structure of a Hindu temple are rooted in Vedic traditions, deploying circles and squares. A temple incorporates all elements of Hindu cosmos—presenting the good, the evil and the human, as well as the elements of Hindu sense of cyclic time and the essence of life—symbolically presenting dharma, kama, artha, moksa, and karma.The spiritual principles symbolically represented in Hindu temples are given in the ancient Sanskrit texts of India (for example, Vedas and Upanishads), while their structural rules are described in various ancient Sanskrit treatises on architecture (Brhat Samhita, Vastu Sastras). The layout, the motifs, the plan and the building process recite ancient rituals, geometric symbolisms, and reflect beliefs and values innate within various schools of Hinduism. A Hindu temple is a spiritual destination for many Hindus, as well as landmarks around which ancient arts, community celebrations and economy have flourished.Hindu temples come in many styles, are situated in diverse locations, deploy different construction methods and are adapted to different deities and regional beliefs, yet almost all of them share certain core ideas, symbolism and themes. They are found in South Asia particularly India and Nepal, in southeast Asian countries such as Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam, and islands of Indonesia and Malaysia, and countries such as Canada, the Caribbean, Fiji, France, Guyana, Kenya, Mauritius, the Netherlands, South Africa, Suriname, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, the United Kingdom, the United States, and countries with a significant Hindu community. The current state and outer appearance of Hindu temples reflect arts, materials and designs as they evolved over two millennia; they also reflect the effect of conflicts between Hinduism and Islam since the 12th century. Mandir one of the components of the Swaminarayanan Akshardham in Robbinsville, New Jersey, United States, between the New York and Philadelphia metropolitan areas was inaugurated and opened to the public on 10 August 2014.
