Leadership and Marketing Update from H. LEINER & CO.
It’s easy to get frustrated when meetings are scheduled for a certain time but start late, go over time, don’t have a clear plan, too many people are involved in the decision-making process, or nothing is accomplished after the time spent at the meeting.
If you relate to any of those issues, here are 3 elements that should be implemented at every single meeting:
 

 On its official Facebook page, Fatah posted a story earlier this year according to the which during World War II Jews agreed to bury Russian civilians alive to save their own lives.
Upon seeing this, a Nazi soldier allegedly proclaimed to the Russians: “I just wanted you to know who the Jews are and why we are killing them!” (Official Fatah Facebook page, Feb. 27, 2019.)

Fatah presented the story as an extract from what it claimed was the authentic memoir of a Russian civilian:

Health officials on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia have quarantined a cruise ship after discovering a case of measles on board, the country’s top doctor said Tuesday.
Authorities confirmed the case on Tuesday morning, said Dr. Merlene Fredericks James, St. Lucia’s chief medical officer. The vessel was locked down later that day, an attempt to stymie any potential spread of the highly contagious disease that’s sickening people in the United States at a record pace, fueled by anti-vaccination misinformation.

Time to Inspire

By Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz
Count yourself among the majority if you had never heard of Poway, California, before Yom Tov.
That spot of a town twenty-five miles from San Diego will be anonymous no more in the Jewish world. Everyone will remember it as the site of a senseless killing of a Jewish woman because she was a Jew.
The name of the sparkling California city in the greatest democracy the world has known joined the long infamous list of cities where anti-Semitism has led to murder. This most recent heinous act took place on a Shabbos, on Shemini Shel Pesach, the final day of the holiday of freedom and cheirus.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) told reporters on Tuesday that he “doesn’t know what the alternative is other than a two-state solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In a joint briefing with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) following their visit to the Middle East as members of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, Romney added that “no one articulated to us anywhere in the region an idea or a proposal for something other than a two-state solution.”

The New York Times is disciplining the editor who chose to publish an anti-Semitic cartoon in Thursday’s international print edition, the paper reported Wednesday.
The paper reported that it will also overhaul its bias training to have an emphasis on anti-Semitism, according to an internal note from the Times’s publisher, A. G. Sulzberger. According to the Times, it also will no longer run syndicated cartoons created by artists who do are not tied to the paper directly.
Sulzberger said the “offensive” cartoon was “downloaded and published by a single production editor working without adequate oversight.”
“Though I’ve been assured there was no malice involved in this mistake, we fell far short of our standards and values in this case,” he added.

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg sat down with Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, sources tell The Hill.
Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., who has been recently surging in the polls, requested the meeting, the sources say.
He’s the latest 2020 contender to meet with Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee, as she offers advice on what she learned from her race. Others who have met with her include Sens. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.).
